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 ....

Whale Site, Warrah Sanctuary




This rock platform, with a great view toward Ocean Beach and Ettalong, is located south of the road between Umina and Patonga. This is an area that is sometimes referred to as "Warrah Sanctuary". The 24 foot whale is barely visible except under rainy conditions and the right light. The western-most outline of the whale has a "pointer" in the form of one axe groove and what appears to be the engraving of the toe of a kangaroo. The whale outline is visible when you stand near the axe groove and kangaroo toe and follow the line that these create - toward the north east. Around 14 engravings were recorded as being present on this site - about 4 are still identifiable.
