		Calling the figures in the paintings the Wondjina, the Aborigines consider the beings extremely sacred.
		However, the Wondjina slightly resemble the gray type of aliens reported today by alleged alien abductees.
		Therefore, it is possible that the Wondjina are actually aliens seen by the Aborigines a long time ago.

		Their ghosts still exist in small ponds." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wondjina Wondjina splits a file in short byte-strings (of user-definable length), encodes them using Base64 and then transmits the file through an HTTP proxy to a server listening on the internet.

		The Etags wondjina uses by default are quite a bit larger to allow for quicker transfers.
		Do note that while in fact, Wondjina only tunnels out (one way traffic) the matching between Etag and if-none-match is ideal for bidirectional tunneling.

		However, in certain cases, and especially in the case of the large Wondjina and his children, the head, hair, eyelids and nose are repainted and restored.
		This was enough evidence for Lévy-Bruhl to associate rain with fertility, to refer to the orgies Wirz had attached to the gåri, and to declare the mythological relation between the gåri of the Marindi and the halos which, in fact, surround the heads of the Wondjinas.
		Looking closely at the published reproductions of these figures, it is possible to imagine that the halos around the Wondjinas' heads are in fact snakes, arched in the form of rainbows, and not particularly the gåris about which Lévy-Bruhl was so enthusiastic.

		The Dreaming represents a distant mythic period in which 'Wondjina' (ancestral spirits) traveled across Australia, establishing the essential fabric of life and depositing the spirits of unborn children.
		The Wondjina were born from the earth, and their journeys during The Dreaming are recorded in the oral traditions of the Aboriginal peoples of different regions of Australia with great attention to local geographical detail and specific events.
		It can be reentered through rituals using totems, in which the participants themselves become the Wondjina and retrace their journeys, reliving the so-called strong time of creation.

		The next morning, while Jodenny and Terry are driving back to town to catch the shuttle back to the Aral Sea, they visit the local Wondjina Spheres, made by the same aliens who made the Alcheringa, and make the startling discovery that they are personal interplanetary transports with ancient Australian Aboriginal symbols.
		Mysteries involving who in the ship can be trusted, the actual cause of the Yangtze's destruction, the true nature of the Alcheringa and Wondjina Spheres, an apparent connection with Aboriginal myths and the nature of the smuggling operation must be solved for Jodenny and Terry to save their lives, careers and nascent romantic relationship.
		While the Aboriginal mysticism and Wondjina Spheres add unique flavor to the novel, there are contradictions and lack of clarity that make it difficult to understand their true nature.

		Years later, Neolithic man was painting himself with red ochre as a symbolic gesture of his rebirth and initiation into the new life of the gods.
		In the outback of Australia, the anthropomorphic figures of the Wondjina, which date back to 10,000 BC, show a distinct red band around the heads of the priesthood.
		Evidence from Australia shows that they were magically adept at utilising and chemically altering the earth around them to produce the red ochre needed for their rites.

		There is a great variety of this art, which ranges from the naturalistic to the stylized, and encompasses both the decoration of useful objects and ritualistic or ceremonial symbolism.
		Some of the distinctive features of aboriginal artefacts are the wondjina - representations of skull-like human forms without mouths which may have been used in ceremonies of ancestor worship - and the 'X-ray' art of the Oenpelli area, which depicts the internal organs of humans and animals.
		In recent years, native Australian peoples have adopted western techniques of using paint on canvas, and the original religious resonances of their earlier art have been diluted or lost.

		But for two years Richard J. Lundin, archaeologist and director of the Wondjina Research Institute in Twain Harte, has used new technology to map the mine workings and find which tunnels are collapsed and which are still stable.
		Church officials asked the Wondjina Institute to explore the possibility of moving the rectory hall to a nearby location.
		Using high technology — ground penetrating radar, radiometrics and low-frequency electromagnetics — Lundin has begun to map the underground area around the church and has said that moving the hall will probably be feasible.

		Posteriormente, durante el Dreamtime, estos espíritus, viajaron libremente por Australia y después de transmitir a lo seres humanos los conocimientos necesarios para su supervivencia y para el mantenimiento del orden establecido, los Wondjina desaparecieron dentro de la Tierra y habitan en las formas del mundo natural que crearon: rocas, pájaros, ríos, etc...

		Diese sind möglicherweise durch Fremdeinflüsse von Mythen über Wondjinas verdrängt worden.
		Nachdem sie ihren Schöpfungsakt beendet hatten, hinterließ jeder Wondjina sein Abbild und das von anderen Pflanzen und Tieren auf den Höhlenwänden, bevor sie sich in tiefe Wasserlöcher zurückzogen.

		Unfortunately, there is no ready-made explanation as to why some of our images appeared in “reverse.” It may have been another deliberate feature to prove their paranormality, especially when they were not witnessed under controlled conditions.
		The symbols you’re probably referring to are the “Wondjina” pictures which were originally thought to be bee-snake-like symbols.
