Abstract
Little has been reported of the rock-art in the area between Darwin and the Daly River, in the Northern Territory. Recent management surveys, however, have revealed that the northern end of the outcropping Tolmer Sandstone contains a small but significant corpus of rock-art. While having aspects in common with the adjacent areas of the Victoria/Upper Daly River region to the south-west and western Arnhem Land to the east, the differences are enough to indicate that the sites in the area constitute a distinct art region in their own right. Further, within this corpus there is a pattern of bichrome art occurring on the edge of the escarpments and adjacent to the resources of the nearby wetlands, and older looking red paintings in the interior of the range.
