Large Banded Whale, Koolewong Trail, Brisbane Water National Park

Banded Whale

This banded whale engraving is located on the northern end of the Koolewong trail that ends at the location of the Emu Dancer engraving quite a few hundred metres to the south. This whale, unlike others in the area is positioned toward the east, indicating that something special is to be found in that direction - a network of caves in a similar way that the Emu Dancer indicates.

Emu Dancer (Daramulan) - Koolewong Trail, Brisbane Water National Park

Emu Dancer 1

Emu Dancer 2

The Koolewong Trail in Brisbane Water National Park has quite a few smaller trails running off it. This Emu Dancer (Daramulan) was found in the vicinity of a network of caves toward the southern end of the trail. It was covered by leaves and soil. Unless you knew what you are looking for, you may just miss it and walk over it. This type of engraving is found in some special places in Guringai Country. It's a pointer that something more important is in this area.
