Visible from a considerable distance away, this Aboriginal engraving site is on the vertical face of a small boulder along the edge of Berowra Creek.
The two fish were first documented by Ian Sim: “The figures of two fish, one with a number of pits within its outline, and a bird, together with several lines of parts of figures weathered away, engraved on a vertical rock face on the eastern shoreline of Berowra Waters”.
McCarthy later recorded ten figures, which included a bird and the tail of an incomplete fish – these have weathered away. He described the slightly and more distinct fish as a groper (“slit mouth on rounded head, 2 eyes, good tail, 13 pits scattered over its body in 4 pairs”) and the other as a broad leatherjacket (“2 eyes, 2 opposite fins, lozenge shaped body, good tail at angle to body”).
