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 ....

Shield, Forestway, Belrose

Large but very weathered Shield
This old weathered shield is located on a platform among a series of other small rock platforms containing engravings threatened with destruction through the construction and proposed future widening  of the road to Terrey Hills from Frenchs Forest. This site is located  about 120 metres south of the Electrical Sub-Station

Ceremonial Man, Forestway, Belrose

Remains of the Ceremonial Man
The remains of the Ceremonial Man engraving to the east of Forestway, approximately 800 metres from the intersection with Mona Vale Road, can be found approximately 200 metres north of the Electrical Sub-Station. Located on a medium sized cliff ledge the engraving is barely visible having been once described as a man with a rayed headress. This engraving appears as a man with arms outstretched, but with a coiled headress almost identical to the man engraved above the small waterfall on the Corrumbine Creek Fire Trail at Kariong, NSW. This significant engraving will disappear forever soon - so sad.

Reasonably difficult site to locate next to Forestway Belrose. Few engravings left - Horned Man, Echidna and 5 toed Mundoe. This site is located close to the roadway and near the old Yanginook School.
