    The cave art i referred to was in the region of 40,000 years ago, and
    presumably painted by the ancestors of the Aborigines, and pre dates
    European cave art. I.E. its is the oldest human cave art. As i said i can't
    access the file with the reference in at the moment, unfortunately.

    regards
