The Oldest? 17,300-Year-Old Kangaroo Painting Discovered in Australia

Kangaroo Paintings from the Lost World Cissy Gore-Birch, Chair of the Balanggarra Aboriginal Corporation, said that this rock painting “is the oldest known painting in an Australian rock shelter .” The painted kangaroo is about 2 meters (6.56 ft) in length and it was one of 15 other images that were analyzed during the recent project. According to an article in the New Scientist , the team of researchers also measured a 3-meter-long (3.28 ft) snake, “and a lizard-like creature,” as well as other kangaroo-like animals. It was concluded that this “naturalistic style” of animal paintings proliferated in this region for Australia between 17,000 and 13,000 years ago.

Kangaroo painting is now Australia s oldest known rock art -- Secret History -- Sott net

© Damien Finch / Pauline Heaney A montage of 39 photographs of the 17,300 year old kangaroo with an accompanying illustration. An image of a kangaroo has been identified as Australia s oldest known rock painting, dated to over 17,000 years old. The two-metre-long kangaroo is painted on the ceiling of a rock shelter on the Unghango clan estate, in Balanggarra country in the north-eastern Kimberley region, WA. A research team led by Damien Finch from the University of Melbourne used radiocarbon dating to determine the ages of mud-wasp nests below and above the painting. In these old paintings, the ochre pigment used is an iron oxide, says Finch. It cannot be dated with any of the current scientific dating techniques. The alternative is to date any suitable material found directly under or on top of the painting. In our work we date mud-wasp nests that are commonly found in rock shelters in northern Australia.
