The maamaara and baalyet like rocks. The former like caves and the latter are invisible. Maybe you've uncovered their outline. Just like them to be laying on the rocks...watching for whoever might pass them by! Hey great to hear that you're back, I've missed your blogs, and insights, colours and magic.
Maam-arra little men... Might be an ancient Noongar observation of dwarfism... but...some fellas I had met swore by it that someone they had known had seen them. They weren't to be ridiculed...according to them, maamara weren't the thing of fantasy, but real personages, hairy and stinking. Sometimes you could see there feet moving in the rock overhangs...

Good to be back...fantastic adventure out to Mulka's cave. Tell me more about these maamaara please Tim.
Wow I love your photos, so whens the exhibition going to be happening. You really need to do an exhibition.
Maamaara are little spirits that cause mischief, but my dad said they take the children away when they are naughty.
