This significant engraving site is located about 15 minutes walk from the roadway entrance of the America Bay Track at West Head. This site is one of perhaps many in this particular area that were documented by William Dugald Campbell in 1899.
The main Daramulan figure is at least 5 - 6 metres long. This engraving includes what some people may describe as a "special boomerang". This same style of boomerang is present at Mount Kuringai, near a Baiame figure.
It has been suggested that this sight once contained around 20 or so figures. This is a possibility. This area seems to be greatly affected by encroaching vegetation and the impact of water run-off. The snake engravings are consistent with others in the area and those also at the Baiame site near Wakehurst Parkway at Bantry Bay.
