The album has to be read in conjuction with the relevant section of the report.
This is an aboriginal painting to be found on a rock shelter in the Namadgi National Park. One reaches the shelter through the Yankee Hat Trail. This is off-limits for bikes: I took the photograph below in September 1996, as I walked there.

Some insects deposit their eggs under the bark of gum trees. The larvae eat their way through the wood. Once the gum tree sheds the outer bark layer, these beautiful patterns are exposed.
