What's left of Mt Kuringai Site (2)
Sadly, the sister site of Mt Kuringai (1) located on the western side of the railway line north of Mt Kuringai Train Station hasn't been protected adequately. Visitors to Mt Kuringai (1) would be familiar with the figures of Baiame, two of his wives and the long trail of mundoes. Most people might not realise that the Sister Site of this engraving platform is located a short distance north-north-east of the main site. It once featured a group of men amongst other engravings. It is separated by NSW's main northern train line.
The presence of this site is acknowledged by a NSW Railways "Environmentally Sensitive Sign" that is tied to the railway corridor fence (F3 side) and is visible whilst travelling by train from Berowra to Mt Kuringai. It would seem that some inconsiderate persons (contractors or employees) sought fit to dump a range of rocks, cement and earth on top of the platform - an amazing sense and example of environmental sensitive practices.
The only legal access to this buried engraving platform is via the F3/M1 Motorway i.e. park in an emergency bay and bush-bash it in. Maybe it was treated the way it has been as "they" figured that no-one would come back to find it. Watch out for Brown Snakes here!
