Yep ...we are all still patiently waiting for the day when the people from world's oldest continuing culture, holding the same legal rights as a rock on a track before 1967, the traditional owners of this land, are at least acknowledged in the Constitution of Australia as part of the development of a treaty and edge closer to true reconciliation.

Yep - we are all still waiting ....

Feint Wallaby Engraving - Strickland State Forest



Feint Wallaby Engraving

This feint wallaby engraving is located on a rock platform about a very rough 20 minute walk on the western side of Mangrove Road, Narara. The shape of the head and chest are recognisable. This may be a very young engraving and perhaps unfinished.

Spear Sharpening Place - Strickland State Forest


Spear Sharpening Place

Whilst there are many engraving and axe sharpening sites within and around Strickland State Forest, there are some spear sharpening places. This site is only a 15 minute walk west of Mangrove Road, Narara. Sites such as this one are sometimes confused as representing "unusual bird tracks".

Bulls Hill Quarry (North) - The Missing Group of Engravings






W.D.Campbell recorded this group back in 1899 around the same time that he recorded another similar group some 400 metres to the north east. F.D.McCarthy included this group with the other group (1st Series) but used the same co-ordinates to identify both sites. There are some similarities between the two: the same man and a canoe (recorded as a whale) with emu tracks at one site rather than an  emu itself.
