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 ....

Group of Macropods & other figures, Killarney Heights

Main Engraving Platform with a view to Killarney Point

Kangaroo / Wallaby #1

Large Kangaroo within the group of macropod engravings

Additional Wallaby

Additional engraving on the west side of the platform - perhaps another wallaby.

This group of macropod engravings is rare in this part of Garigal National Park and perhaps across the larger part of the Sydney Basin & Central Coast. There is a group of 5 Kangaroos east of the Wakehurst Parkway and south of the old and historic Oxford Falls Public School. This group seems significant in that it appears as a combination of Kangaroos and Wallabies or perhaps a Kangaroo and Joeys. The next closest group of Kangaroos beyond this site is at Oxford Falls, then Mount Colah and beyond that, at Moonee Moonee Aboriginal Reserve in Somersby, south west of the Old Sydney Town site.

This engraving platform has a great view towards Killarney Point and is about 3 or 4 metres above the junction of the bush trail that runs between Roseville Bridge to Flat Rock and the trail that runs directly south of Downpatrick Road, Killarney Heights. This site was covered in leaves at the time of location.
