Bushy’s Yarn

Most of my life I have collected strange stones which were interesting different.the aborigines found them to be interesting also.

So friends said why not display them .Then I decided to wash them all I soaked them and scrubbed them with scrubbing brush nail brush tooth brush . So they had three soaking and three brushings. I sat in deep shade doing this and I noticed that there were etchings on many of them.

I assumed that there would be books in the library in Nambour about stone art.there were none . Rang the Brisbane museum was told that the Aboriginals did not etch stone and that I was seeingthis because of Pareidolia . When we are new born the faces that look at us are three points two eyes and a mouth a triangle.This means that we make faces out of chaos the Aboriginals did not know this to them it was a supernatural manifestationwhich they embelished .

They meta landscaped the bluffs free standing boulders and their portable stone tools and totemic stones .The most gob smacking stones were pertifed wood and next were strange stones.

So the hand of man put the face of man all over the land. they were masters of shadow and light they also embelished animal shapes that they saw on the stones.They did this in the shade so bright light makes them hard to see inshade the contrast ismore noticeable. they have up close arms length and a pace or two away and from different vantage positions. They were stone recognition experts and stone shapeing experts .

Their tool kit was from the hardness scale .They had saphires they knew diamond was brittle but would draw on quartz they also new about wash pools so the work looked natrual .Iam not an archaeologist so this is all my considersd opinion please feel free to comment
