"Perhaps, more importantly, he also fell in love with our people. This was based on respect for our people and their knowledge. In turn, George has our respect--more than any other European I know." Alderson’s praise was read out at a party to mark 65-year-old Chaloupka’s retirement from the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery. Chaloupka was the dedicated amateur who discovered thousands of previously unidentified rock art sites across Arnhem Land.
