Barrenjoey Fish

Summary: This group of three fish engravings enjoys fine water views. There are numerous Aboriginal heritage sites on the Barrenjoey Headland, including three listed Aboriginal archaeological sites, two middens and a cave.

This is one of a few hidden Aboriginal engravings sites on Barrenjoey Head, near the lighthouse. The three fish all of which have two eyes, are fairly weathered.
