This Aboriginal engraving site on Bulls Hill in Kariong has over ten figures, but most are very hard to see: “An old weathered group, with only half of the whale preserved, and casual figures” (McCarthy). The most dominant motif is what was described as an “unfinished whale” by Ian Sim. A number of figures within the whale and a speared man just above the whale can no longer be seen.
Near the whale is a circle.
There is a pothole near the whale, and what may be very old axe grinding grooves another shallow pothole in the sandstone.
A short distance to the south are a few more figures; they include a small and crudely drawn man with upraised arms.
There is a large eel on the edge of boulder.
On another small rock surrounded by scrub are two overlapping male figures.
On the opposite side of the Bulls Hill Firetrail is an engraving of a fish.
