What is now called the Boree Track in the Hunter Valley was for many thousands of years an important Aboriginal route and songline. Along the Boree Track are a number of significant Aboriginal engraving sites and Shelters with Art.
A spectacular Aboriginal rock art site in the Bala Range, this shelter has over 265 motifs including two eagles, anthropomorphs, lines of “dancing men” figures and 50+ hand stencils.
A number of weathered engravings on a rock platform near the Boree Track, which includes a Daramulan figure.
A pothole on a ridge above the Boree Track with carved water channels, which was also used by European settlers who carved their initals and a horse into the rock.
A long, tunnel-like shelter, Carrolls Cave has over 80 Aboriginal hand stencils, as well as stencils of stone axes and spears. Above the shelter are a mundoe and kangaroo engraving.
One of the significant and complex Aboriginal engraving sites along the Boree Track, Frying Pan Rock has over 130 figures. The site probably depicts one or more hunting scenes, and includes 12 kangaroos (two of them speared) as well as many other animals.
