Pictured is a large engraving of a Kangaroo (head destroyed) that has been damaged, along with many other significant engravings, on a rock platform around 150 -200 metres long that runs parallel to Mangrove Road, Narara through which an Energy Australia access trail cuts across and splits. There are many significant engravings still recognisable such as a large emu (Wheeler Heights, Cromer, Northern Beaches style), Baiame mundoes, stingrays, lines of men amongst many others. There are other engraving sites nearby - beware the black snakes !
Revisiting the Aboriginal Engravings of the Sydney / Hawkesbury Districts. 14 Blacks, 6 Tigers, 3 Death Adders, 8 Brown Snakes, one unidentified grey blue snake but no pythons ..... that would be about 42 serious reptiles for more than 511 engraving platforms and a few caves - INXS of 7636 engravings, still counting and still loving it!!!
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.
