Rock Art Research

Mudgegonga, an area in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, houses the most elaborate rock art complex yet recorded in north-east Victoria and its central site, Mudgegonga-2, is one of the most decorated in the State. Although small in number, these sites are of paramount importance to the local Aboriginal people in whose lands they occur. Detailed recording of the art of Mudgegonga-2 has provided a key to interpreting the rock art within the site complex and also the rock art elsewhere in the north-east Victorian rock art region. Using these results and other recent detailed recordings, a reevaluation of the region’s rock art is presented.
