NoTraces Bushwalking Australia Bushwalking and Rafting Tours in breathtaking remote areas. Small groups that Leave No Trace! These are the places that I would like to “travel” together.

Traveling together in the heart of Australia
In 1996, I began a succession of travel and expeditions that took me all over the Australian Outback, giving me a special knowledge of the hard to get to places unknown by tourists and the course of time. Small groups
Our expeditions are built around small groups of ten bushwalkers, which allows us to meet each other without pressure and in a relaxed environment. A personalized approach
We can organize customized expeditions according to your desires for discovery. We are at your disposal by phone or email to provide you with personalized advice. Travel on a human scale
We want our journeys to be experienced simply, to the rhythm of our steps and our days together. Our goal is not the number but the quality of our destinations. Nature in its purest form. All our expeditions we will discover sites preserved from any human interaction. We can drink water from rivers, we can walk for days without meeting other humans being or having to step over a single fence. No Trace
It is essential for us to leave the sites we visit in their original and natural state. Price
We offer value for money. Our expeditions are well priced, because we do not offer luxury items. You will have the services of an expert guide who will take you to extraordinary places and provide you with wholesome meals that will sustain you for each days activity.

Gwion Gwion - Sash Figures. Kimberley.

The Kimberley is home to archaeological treasures that make it a veritable open-air museum.

The Gwion Gwion paintings are found mainly in the northwest of the Kimberley in the Aboriginal Lands of the Gamberre, Wunambal, Wororra, Umida, Ungumi, Gooniyandi, Punuba, Worla, Ngarinyin and Miwa People.

They are dated between 12,000 and 17,000 years ago, but their age remains difficult to determine.

The oldest Gwion Gwion paintings are in the "Tassel" style, a highly detailed rock painting style. The "Sash" style came just afterwards. These names were given by Grahame Walsh, who devoted 30 years of his life and all his savings to researching, documenting and classifying the Gwion Gwion paintings.

The Sash style is characterised by "bent-knee" figures. David Welch, who wrote numerous books about the Gwion Gwion, also refers to them this way ("Bent Knee Figures"). Mike Donaldson, another renowned Kimberley explorer, calls them "Yowna Gwion".

Their origin is still rather mysterious.

The painting shows a canoe with 3 or 4 people standing. Canoes were made from the bark of eucalyptus ("Stringybark") or melaleuca. They could also be carved from the wood of melaleuca or milkwood trees.

To the right of the canoe, a human figure holds boomerangs.
