Here's a stained glass picture showing the aboriginal concept of the madona and child, and the one below shows an aboriginal nativity scene, complete with grass trees, a kangaroo, emu, and a kookaberra.

Drove out to New Norcia with my AWC group, to tour a monastary built in 1846. Lots of gorgeous artwork, wood carving, etc. and we got a special tour of the bakery, since one of the ladies was friends with someone there. They still bake bread and biscotti in the same oven they've used for over 150 years, pretty amazing.
This is one of the chapels, and a monk living there some years ago carved all the woodwork himself. The ceilings were all done by the monks too, as well as the paintings.
