I've looked and looked and don't fully understand the image on page 21 of AS&T Mar/Apr 2008. It's a great photo, wonderfully conceptualized and executed, but, if it is meant to be the dark constellation, the "Emu", where is the head, namely the Coalsack. I just cannot make it out, nor see Crux. Would some kind soul point it out to me - I must be losing sight and mind in my old age!
STOP PRESS:- OK, a bit of googling and I have found the following:-

The image on page 21 is cropped - we have a headless emu! (Mind you, the small image in the csiro article appears to cut off the rock carving!)
Here we go - the full image is here:-

Some explanation from Barnaby:-
“This was a difficult image to capture. The emu is so big in the sky that the picture had to be pieced together from 520 individual images...”
That is impressive!
