For anyone interested in Indigenous Australian astronomy I recommend the work of Duane Hamacher. It’s not without flaws, but does offer a good place to start.

When I was working in the Northern Territory of Australia I recorded some rock paintings and associated stories which involved stars and Dreaming spirits. I was particularly surprised by the specific astronomical understanding of different types of stars - really fascinating stuff.
