Synopsis
Dream Road is the first definitive work on the Quinkin art body - one of the largest and most spectacular groups of rock paintings in the world. Covering the caves and cliffs of Cape York Peninsula, the paintings range in age from 5000 to over 13,000 years... In this intimate and engrossing account, one of the world's leading experts on Australian rock art recounts the history and the significance of the paintings he rediscovered over a period of many years. When Percy Tresize began his investigation he was joined by his friend, the artist Dick Roughsey, a member of the Lardil tribe on Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Through his long and close association with Roughsey and his people, Tresize learnt about the culture and history of rock artists... Beautifully illustrated and written in an engaging and accessible style, Dream Roads is a journey of discovery which helps to shatter the myth of terra nullius and to prove that Aboriginal people have lived here far longer than previously estimated... 'Dream Road is a fine book make finer by the precise, uncluttered narrative and enriched by the magnificent legends.'..Jack Neat, Courier Mail, New in paperback, Dream Road is the first definitive work on the Quinkin art body - one of the largest and most spectacular groups of rock paintings in the world., A comprehensive work on the Quinkin art body - one of the largest and most spectacular groups of rock paintings in the world.
