Recent painting on Nourlangie rock in Kakadu National park, Northern Territories, Australia. Shows Crocodile man with Lightning man to right - he produces thunder and lightning by scraping big Horseshoe with axes. The name 'Nourlangie' is an anglicised version of Nawurlandja, the name of a larger area that includes an outlier to the west of Nourlangie. The upper part of Nourlangie Rock is known as Burrunggui; the lower areas are known as Anbangbang. A number of figures at the Lightning Man rock art site were repainted by Nayambolmi, or Najombolmi, in 1963 and 1964. Repainting was part of the rock art tradition, although not all rock art was repainted. Only people who were 'authorised' or recognised as artists were allowed to repaint. Nayambolmi, probably born around 1895, was from the Badmardi clan and was highly respected as an artist. He was also a good hunter and angler-hence his 'white fella' name, 'Barramundi Charlie'. Nayambolmi worked for non-Aboriginal people for many years, but he visited his country and painted in shelters throughout his life. One of the last prolific rock art painters in the area, he died around 1967. 固opFoto / Fortean *** Local Caption ***
