DREAMTIME SUPERHIGHWAY presents a thorough and original contextualization of the rock art and archaeology of the Sydney Basin. By combining excavation results with rock art analysis it demonstrates that a true archaeology of rock art can provide insights into rock art image-making in people's social and cultural lives. Based on a PhD dissertation, this monograph is a significantly revised and updated study which draws forcefully on rich and new data from extensive recent research - much of it by McDonald herself. McDonald has developed a model that suggests that visual culture - such as rock artmaking and its images and forms - could be understood as a system of communication, as a way of signaling group identifying behaviour. For the archaeologist of art, the anthropologist of art and those of us who try to think about past worlds... this monograph is a must read.

Published just once before in 1988, this book contains over sixty paintings and sixty drawings by Ainslie Roberts based on Aboriginal Mythology, with texts by Melva Jean Roberts and Charles Mountford. Introduced by Dale Roberts. Quite apart from their artistic worth the paintings add a great deal to our understanding and appreciation of the myths they illustrate; and Roberts delivers them with a real sense of background, whether this is the harsh hot Centre or the green waves of the Southern Ocean. - The Australian The artist's evocation of these myths is often extremely dramatic and imaginative; this volume is valuable both for its material on Aboriginal mythology and as an example of contemporary Australian art. - British Book News
