a)

Uluru at sunrise:

beautiful blue sky – big rock in the middle of nowhere – early during the day – really quiet and relaxing – the sun is rising – a holy place for Aborigines

Holes in Uluru:

the holes were made by red lizard (the Dreaming) – the holes offer a cool place for humans and animals – during the day: hot and dry – maybe water or humans formed the holes

Cave paintings:

special paintings – Aborigines wanted to show their history or the Dreaming – hidden meaning – very colourful – it took a lot of time (mixing of colours & the painting) – Aborigines were artists
