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.

Narara Cave Art Site, Somersby






This remarkable cave art site is located west of the Narara Railway Dams engraving site. This site closely resembles another Cave Art site that is gated at Canoelands near Maroota in Darug Country. The main difference seems to be the placement of a hand over the Baiame figure in Narara as opposed to the large boomerang placed over a similar figure at Canoelands.
