248 Track Kangaroos

Summary: Along the 248 Track is a long rock shelf protected by a series of timber logs; it’s hard to make out the individual engravings due to natural tesselation.

A large timber platform along the 248 Track in Popran National Park protects some faint engravings, including a boomerang.
