I'm interested, but have no clue what I am looking at.
Thanks
ETA: I see the post above. Thanks Slapjacks. You must have been posting at the same time I was.

Rock art from the Main (Anbangbang) Gallery at Nourlangie. The largest figure (centre, top) is the Creation Ancestor Namondjok, and on the right is the Creation Ancestor Namarrgon, the Lightning Man.

You guys are quick! Thanks bunches for the extra links.
OP, the "woman's" head doesn't look too human, but resembles perfectly the stone head of the fertility goddess found in the thread Slapjacks linked to. (It also shows the same being to the right of her) From that, I would say this probably isn't human-alien hybridization being depicted, just carving of the same fertility goddess. Just my thoughts
