| Very Sacred Woman |
This engraving site is in danger of being destroyed through the expansion of the Rocla Quarry Site that was partially approved by the NSW State Government. This engraving site would be among my present Top 10 in the Sydney Hawkesbury District. Very difficult to find in deep bush south of the quarry are several figures that were recorded incorrectly by archeologists. This site is deeply sacred with the figure of a woman with arm and leg bands represented. The detail of the figure in regard to her sexual organs is not represented in this particular way in many other engravings of sacred women. Accompanying the sacred woman is Daramulan, in the guise of a giant Koala. Daramulan is represented exactly in the same form in a sacred site at Muogamarra close to another "sexual site". The Daramulan at this site is lsightly larger than the Muogamarra engraving and is missing it's head through erosion. This confirms for me that this is Guringai Country - not Darkingjung.
