The Ochre Pits

December 22, 2022

Located 110km west of Alice Springs, the mineral Ochre Pits are a colourful outcrop of ochre on the banks of a sandy creek. Ochre occurs in a range of earthy colours ranging from white, yellow, orange, red and browns. It’s an important part of Aboriginal culture and is used in everyday life. It’s the raw material for paintings and ceremonial body decoration.

Many thanks for another wonderful card Marnie!
