In 1993 a small group mounted an expedition in the Kimberley, North-West Australia to study the rock art. This consisted of Robert Hefner III, Damon de Laszlo, Michael McGuire, John Robinson, Giles Mead, Bruce Dyson and rock art researcher Grahame Walsh. Due to the lack of roads and tracks, the group travelled through the remote landscape using two helicopters - using two in case of mechanical failure. The areas visited included Prince Regent River, Bigge Island, Roe River, King Edward River, Mitchell Falls and Drysdale River.

By the end of the expedition, the group had become fully committed to the rock art of the Kimberley and it was agreed that the Bradshaw Foundation be founded, in order to further the research and the preservation of the art. In 1994 ‘Bradshaws: Ancient Rock Paintings of North-West Australia’ was published. Shortly afterwards, the Bradshaw Foundation website was launched.
