A small rock platform near the Calga Quarry has a number of very weathered Aboriginal engravings, near a small waterhole.
The largest figure is that of a man with a very rounded head: he was documented in the 1970s as “a man 6 feet high with large head and overlapped legs”. One arm is stretched over his head and he has a belt across his waist – but these details are very hard to see.
Next to the belt of the man is a small figure, which Bob Pankurst described as a small dog, or a dingo.
Just above the man is a figure which was described by Pankhurst as the back part of an emu; very little of this figure can be seen.
A second emu was recorded (photo below by Bob Pankhurst) two metres north of this one, but it’s now completely covered over by soil and vegetation.
