I AGREE THESE DESIGNS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE COPIED FROM THE COAT OF ARMS. THIS SORT OF POKERWORK (WOOD BURNING) AND DEPICTIONS OF ANIMALS, FLOWERS, ECT. WERE INFLUENCED AT THE MISSION STATIONS WHERE THE ABORIGINALS WORKED OR STAYED. THE TRIBES HAD DESIGNS AND SIGNS THAT SERVED AS WRITING DEPICTING WATER HOLES, CAMPS AND WHAT TYPE OF GAME AND FOOD WAS AVAILABLE AND WHERE TO LOOK. THIS CAN BE SEEN TODAY IN SOME OF THE PAINTINGS OF DREAM TIME. THE FULL DEPICTIONS OF ANIMALS AND WARRIORS WAS USUALLY RESERVED FOR THE SACRED PLACES OFTEN IN OVERHANGS, CAVES OR ROCK WALLS. THEY EVEN HAVE THE X-RAY STYLE SHOWING BONES, MUSCLES AND ORGANS. THIS IS MY GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE HISTORY OF THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINALS AND NO DOUBT NEEDS MORE RESEARCH AND STUDY TO GET THE FULL AND CORRECT PICTURE.
