Animal Tracks engraving, Woy Woy Road, Kariong

Animal Tracks

This difficult to reach site is within 300 metres of the road between Kariong and Woy Woy. Located on a series of three large rock platforms, there are a number of small rock arrangements and a small number of engravings - most are almost indistinguishable. There is no track into this site.

Fish, Woy Woy Road, Kariong

A series of small engraving platforms located off the western side of Woy Woy Road, contain engravings that are partially covered in dirt and leaf material. This engraving appears to be a fish, continuing the theme in this location of a connection to marine/aquatic beings,

Large Eel (non-banded) engraving, Woy Woy Road, Kariong

This large non-banded eel engraving is located on a series of scattered platforms that flank an old creek line that used to transverse the Woy Woy to Kariong Road and perhaps links one secluded sacred site to another. 

Small Emu, Woy Woy Road, Kariong

There is a small emu-shaped engraving on the side of a large rock that may have been previously recorded as Daramulan located about 130 metres west of Woy Woy Rd, Kariong. There are no bush tracks in or out of this site.

Stingray and small eel, Woy Woy Road, Kariong

This interesting set of engravings are difficult to reach. These are located about 120 metres west of Woy Woy Road. Several engravings overlap each other. Pictured is a small snake - perhaps a Death Adder and a stingray. Death Adder engravings are reasonably rare to find.

Large arrow-headed eel, Woy Woy Road, Kariong.

This very large arrow-headed eel is located about 100 metres west of Woy Woy Road, north of the Scout Camp Road. There are no bush tracks in or out of this location. The head of the eel is impressive at around 2ft long with the body perhaps 4 or 5 metres long. There are a range of engravings scattered throughout this area that are difficult to reach.

Large Shark Engraving, Brisbane Waters National Park

This engraving has not, as far as I am aware, been recorded before. The shark, quite different to the other shark/dolphin engravings in this region, is rapidly disappearing. Located on a difficult to reach platform, access is via a service trail south west of Bull's Head Quarry.

Circle within Circle Engraving, Brisbane Water National Park

Appears as a circle within a circle type engraving. Located on a difficult to reach rock platform south-west of Bull's Head Quarry off Woy Woy Road. This type of engraving might not be rare but I have only come across two of them in the last 25 years.

Whale, Brisbane Water National Park

This large whale is located in a difficult to access rock platform, one of many, south-west of Bull's Head Quarry in Brisbane Water National Park. It was first described in 1899 by W.D.Campbell.

Mundoe, Brisbane Water National Park

Mundoe

This large mundoe is located on a series of very difficult to reach rock platforms that are located south-west of Bull's Head Quarry, off Woy Woy Road in Brisbane Water National Park.

Whale Site, Pacific Highway, Kariong

This significant engraving site is located near the Kariong Wanderers Rugby Club home ground and only about 25 metres from the highway. It is unlikely that you could locate this site unless you knew of the location and engraving subjects. A large whale and kangaroo have been hidden (not lost) from view due to sheets of thick green moss that might be easily removed but for fear of damage probably shouldn't be. Pictured are a series of significantly long axe grooves nearby.

Kangaroo, Lyre Trig Track, Kariong

This site is badly weathered and once contained several engravings. Accessed off a fire trail in the Bull's Head area the site contains several axe grinding pools and a solitary bream. Other weathered engravings are present whilst others are covered by vegetation.

Emus, Kariong Rfile Range Track, Kariong

Small Wallaby (unrecorded), Kariong Rifle Range, Kariong
