Looks like you had a ball with the textas :D
That stuff is interesting alright.
Ive been privy to viewing some fantastic rock art and carvings in my time. If you know where to look and have the right people with you, its all over Australia

Some are thousands of years old. One was painted in the 1960's. I remember seeing a doco on it.

No I don't know how old the paintings are. I believe they have been retouched at some time.
