Ochre isn’t just colour – it’s culture. For thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have used natural ochres to paint their bodies for ceremony, storytelling, protection and connection to Country. Every swirl and symbol has meaning, passed through generations to speak of identity, family, place and purpose. Today, you can learn about these powerful traditions firsthand with guides who bring the stories behind the patterns to life. 📸 @DreamtimeCairns in @Queensland 🌊 �
