Australian Ochre is the oldest color in Aboriginal art, with over 40,000 years of history. Aboriginal people collected red, yellow, white, and black ochre from sacred sites for rock art, body painting, and ceremony. Wilgie Mia in Western Australia is the most famous ochre mine, considered sacred. Red ochre represents blood and life.
