In the sandstone country southwest of Katherine in the Northern Territory lies a spectacular concentration of Aboriginal rock art. It is dominated by the figures of the Lightning Brothers – Yagjadbula and Jabaringi – ancestral beings from the Dreamtime. For the Wardaman people, the Lightning Brothers are an important part of their living culture. In this film, Wardaman songs, stories and ceremony are complemented by the evocative music of the group Gondwanaland.
(1987, 27 mins) A Film Australia Production for the Australian Heritage Commission, the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and the Northern Territory Government.
