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.
Yep - we are all still waiting ....

Koradji, Vaucluse House, Vaucluse
Koradji with Head Dress
There are several engravings to be found in the grounds of Vaucluse House in Vaucluse. Perhaps the most significant is this Koradji that is engraved deeply in a pitted style on a large rock platform about 100m from the vegetable garden. There are several caves nearby.
