Aboriginal rock paintings of Wandjina in Western Australia, dating more than 4000 years ago, some, I've read, are as old as 50,000 years but I am no expert.

The Wandjina are cloud and rain spirits from Australian Aboriginal mythology

Art trade with @irawhiti I drew a Taniwha in my Paakantyi art style. Really loved doing this. If any other Indigenous artists would like to trade, I’d be more than happy. This was healing for my soul. Thanks, cousin 💚

Gwion Gwion rock paintings, executed by Aboriginal artists near the King Edward River in Kimberley, Western Australia. The figures here are of the "Tassel" type, so-called because of their elaborate, tasseled costumes. Based on analysis of the wasps' nests that were painted over in the making of these figures, it is estimated that the Gwion Gwion paintings are roughly 12,000 years old.
