Aboriginal Rock Art – Blue Mountains National Park

While the Blue Mountains National Park is less remote and rugged that the Wollemi and Yengo national parks, much of the area has not been comprehensively surveyed for Aboriginal rock art sites. However, there are some well-known and publicly accessible Aboriginal rock sites in the Blue Mountains, including Red Hands Cave (Glenbrook), Kings Tableland Aboriginal Place (Wentworth Falls), Shaws Creek (Yarramundi) and Ticehurst Park (Faulconbridge).

There are also some Aboriginal occupation or ceremonial sites, such as Horseshoe Falls (Hazelbrook), Lyrebird Dell (Leura), The Gully or Catalina Park (Katoomba) and Walls Cave which were used for habitation or ceremonies. The Three Sisters and Minni Ha Ha Falls (Katoomba) are also connected to the myths and ceremonies of the Dharug and Gundungurra people.
