Mardirdabala, Mosquito in (kunibidji)

it’s well known that aboriginal art often depicts images of sacred totems or dreaming of Aboriginal culture. However, the world of the non-sacred also provides a rich source of subject matter for Aboriginal art . Much of the rock art of Western Arnhem Land for examples depicts secular topics such as common food animals and plants, depicted because of their importance economically but also merely because of their existence in the environment. The mosquito is a dreaming totem of Djalama people. A mosquito sacred side is located at a place called Ngamaliru near a larger side called Wurrukudj.
