This stone arrangement is not hard to find on the large rock platform near the south-western boundary of the Rocla Quarry at Calga NSW. It marks a significant space in this area and is central to the community protest action in regard to the expansion of the Rocla Quarry. This arrangement is close to an engraving of a woman, emu and a significant hand - linked in the Darkingjung tradition as a sacred women-only site. I am not sure if the Guringai tradition would suggest otherwise nevertheless the Rocla expansion should be prevented - last chance to preserve sacred land.
Interstingly there are several engraving sites close by not documented or acknowledged in the Aboriginal Heritage Assessment that was commissioned by Rocla in 2009. One is totally destroyed through leeching from the quarry is only about 150 metres NWW where a boundary fence has been moved east of the engraving site at some stage. Maybe there is a problem with the conversion or loss of data from historical records to the AHMIS database.
