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 ....

The Flat Rocks, Gumbooya, Allambie Heights

Main Man figure
The Gumbooya Site is a very significant engraving site on the Northern Beaches. Known widely for the large whale engravings there are many significant figures nearby on an adding platform - some of these recorded by WD Campbell in 1899 include groups of men, shields and a thylacine. There are several engraving sites in the SAydney / Hawkesbury district that have a thylacine, as distinct from a dingo, depicted. Note the appearance of the man's knee. The bulging knee appears on The Central Coast and Bobbin Head amongst other places. Access via Gumbooya Cres. Allambie Heights.
