Summary: A partly damaged Aboriginal engraving of a fish, along the track to Taffys Rock.

On the ridge near the Cole Trig station is an Aboriginal engraving of a fish, described initially by W.D. Campbell in 1899 as a skate (stingray), and later by McCarthy as a flathead fish. The figure has been slightly exfoliated, with a section of its head missing.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

The Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area protects over 3,000 known Aboriginal heritage sites, and many more which are yet to be recorded. This area includes the Blue Mountains National Park, Gardens of Stone, Wollemi National Park and Yengo National Park.
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.
