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 ....

Kangaroo Tail, Warrah Sanctuary


An extensive rock platform runs parallel to the road from Umina to Patonga. Most of the platform is just reachable from the roadway heading north and following the Electrical Poles tracks before climbing 15 - 20 metres up a series of rock walls. At the centre of this platform is a natural watercourse and waterfall - not visible via Google Earth and quite dangerous to traverse. There are indications that this area may have accommodated many engravings however the natural run-off from the road has perhaps caused the platform to fill with sediment and allowed shallow rooted native tress/shrubs to cover the area like a carpet. A large Kangaroo tail-like engraving along with several axe grooves are still visible.
