Aboriginal people carve symbols in rocks using traditional tools, such as hard stones or other sharp implements, to chip away at the surface of the rock. This technique, known as rock engraving or petroglyph carving, allows them to create intricate designs that often hold cultural, spiritual, or historical significance. The process is typically guided by oral traditions and community practices, ensuring that the symbols convey important stories or knowledge. The resulting carvings serve as a vital connection to their heritage and identity.
