Basin Track fish

Summary: An Aboriginal engraving of a single fish next to the Basin Trail.

A short distance beyond the sign-posted Basin Aboriginal Site is another engraving of a fish – it’s the third solitary fish carving along the track. Warren Bluff described the fish in 1983 as pointing to another engraving site further along the Basin Trail. The fish engraving is quite weathered.

Aboriginal Rock Art – Blue Mountains National Park
Red Hands Cave, Glenbrook (Blue Mountains)
The Blue Mountains National Park (and surrounding areas along the Great Western Highway) is thought to have over a thousand indigenous heritage sites, although much of the park has not been comprehensively surveyed. The Aboriginal rock sites in the Blue Mountains include grinding grooves, stensils, drawing and rock carvings.
