"A quick visit to the rock painting site at Namadgi National Park near Canberra. These paintings are said to be at least 800 years old. Aboriginal countries in Australia would meet at this site to feast on Bogong moths and have a corroboree (a ceremonial meeting). A truce would be in place during the corroboree".
