Driekops Petroglyphs, Kimberley

Today  we  headed into  the  Karoo  to  the  glaciated  andesite  bed of  the  Riet  River  to  explore  the  staggering  and    aweinspiring  petroglyph  site  of  Driekopseiland.  Here  we discovered a  wealth  of  3500  rock  carvings  and  marvel  at  how the  landscape  tells  –  or  rather  is  –  a  story.    These  shamanic petroglyphs  (Rock  engravings)  mark  a  sacred ritual  site.
