Ewaninga rock carvings
Ewaninga rock carvings, Aboriginal rock art site in MacDonnell Region, Australia.
The Ewaninga Conservation Reserve contains nearly 1000 petroglyphs spread across rock outcrops surrounding a central claypan that retains water after rainfall.
The rock carvings at Ewaninga date back approximately 30,000 years, representing one of the earliest documented examples of Aboriginal art in Central Australia.
The geometric patterns and animal track symbols carved into the rocks reflect the traditional knowledge and artistic expressions of the Arrernte Indigenous people.
Located 35 kilometers south of Alice Springs, the conservation reserve provides designated pathways and interpretive signs to guide visitors through the protected area.
The site features a natural claypan measuring 100 meters across that creates temporary water pools, attracting native birds and animals to this desert location.
