Welcome
The ANU Rock Art Research Centre (RARC) began its life in November 2009. RARC is a national and globally-linked centre focusing on research, training, and community outreach. We promote excellence in rock art research, management and conservation in Australia and the Pacific, as well as south and east Asia. Raising national and international awareness of the importance of rock art is central to our work.
