Resolute Track mundoes

A line of six mundoes at one of the many Aboriginal engraving sites scattered around the Resolute Track

Above the Resolute Track – and one of a number of scattered Aboriginal engraving sites documented by McCarthy – is a line of six mundoes. They are all fairly distinct.

  • AWAT9850 LR Resolute Track mundoes
  • AWAT9852 LR Resolute Track mundoes
  • AWAT9853 LR Resolute Track mundoes
  • AWAT9858 LR Resolute Track mundoes
  • AWAT9860 LR Resolute Track mundoes
  • AWAT9861 LR Resolute Track mundoes
As is often the case with mundoes, McCarthy suggested they probably connected groups of engravings or other sites.
