Summary: An Aboriginal engraving site near the Boree Track with a large Baiame figure, man and speared echidna.

Not far from the Boree Track on a large rock platform is a large Baiame figure, with a wide body and rayed headdress:

The anthropomorph is engraved on a slightly sloping rock and faces north-west. He has a thickset body, short legs and arms, large eyes, a five-rayed headdress, armlets and a girdle. On his penis is a single puncture.

The photo below by Bob Pankhurst, who documented this site in the 1970s, captures the entire figure.

Not all of the headdress rays can be seen, but the eyes are very prominent.

Near the Baiame figure, Sim also recorded a man and a speared echidna.

Not recorded by Sim are several mundoes.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Yengo National Park was an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and 640 Aboriginal cultural sites are recorded in the park and nearby areas.
Over 40 sites have been recorded within the park; many were located along the river bank and were flooded by the building of the weir in 1938.
