Walga Rock
Walga Rock"Walgahna Rock" is claimed to be the second largest monolith in Australia.〔Ayers Rock as the largest, and Mount Wudinna as the third largest〕
Located at , about 50 kilometres south-west of Cue, Western Australia, it contains a cave with an extensive gallery of Indigenous art.〔http://www.australiaforeveryone.com.au/aborsites_wa.htm〕
==Painting==
A painting of what appeared at first glance to be a sailing ship appears superimposed over some of the earlier works and underneath there are lines of writing that while resembling a Cyrillic or Arabic script have not been identified. While the Indigenous gallery is in itself remarkable, there has been a great deal of speculation about the painting, especially considering it is located 325 kilometres from the coast. It has been argued that it was drawn by survivors of the heavily armed three-masted Dutch East India (VOC) ships ''Batavia'' or ''Zuytdorp''; or that it represents a 'contact painting'〔http://wamuseum.com.au/collections/maritime/march/documents/No.%20216%20Indigenous%20depicts.pdf〕 by indigenous Australians who saw a ship on the coast and then moved inland.
Proponents of the three-masted armed sailing ship theory considered that the middle (or main) mast of the three shown in the Walga Rock/ Walgahna Rock image had broken and fallen overboard. Though none of the underwater detail (e.g. the rudder) is evident, ratlines (to enable the crew to scale the rigging), and some stays (holding the masts vertical) are depicted. The hull appears pierced for at least 14 cannon with seven gunports evident along one side.
