One of the most significant Aboriginal rock art sites in Australia, Eagles Reach in the Wollemi National Park contains 206 motifs which are thought to be up to 4,000-6,000 years old. The site includes many unusual motifs, including a mythical eagle-like creature.
This three-day Wollemi bushwalk comes in two parts: a relatively easy descent to the Colo River via Canoe Creek Pass and along the river to Pass 17b. And an arduous ascent of Pass 17b to explore the area around Savage RIdge.
