RV TRAVEL
Several decades ago, Steve
and I visited beautiful
Carnarvon National Park
in Central Queensland.
We stayed at Carnarvon Gorge
Wilderness Resort, and in
the gift shop we spotted a
beautiful coffee table book
called Australia’s Greatest
Rock Art and eventually
came to know the author,
Grahame Walsh.
Grahame lived on a gorgeous
bush property called Takarakka
Rock Art Research Centre.
His office included over one
million slides of rock art sites
he had visited over decades
of research, and a library of
Aboriginal ethnology. We
visited a number of rock art
sites at Carnarvon Gorge with
Grahame, many of them off the
beaten path. But we always
seemed to return to Takarakka.
A guest on one rock art
tour became Grahame
