Takiroa Rock Art

Next morning we continued southeast toward the coast and Oamaru (not Omarama), stopping to examine the Maori rock art at Takiroa. OK, it's not Lascaux, and certainly not very old, but nonetheless interesting. After ascertaining there was no cafe nor gift shoppe, we drove on.
Limestone cliff now; we'll see much more limestone in Oamaru

Your guess...








See below for interpretation






















More reminiscent of the rock art we saw in Scandinavia...but
much younger
