Summary: A rock platform near the Kimmerikong Trail has Aboriginal engravings whch include a row of ten fish, and a very weathered human figure.

A few Aboriginal rock engravings are located at both ends of a long rock platform in Cowan, near the Kimmerikong Trail. The most prominent is a long line of ten fish.

Most of the fish are fairly distinct, although Fish #9 (the second last fish in the series) has weathered more than the rest. Some of the fish display very obvious peck-marks.

Near the fish is a man, who is considerably more weathered and hard to see; some parts of the figure (his left foot and left arm) are no longer visible.

Above the man’s right arm is an eel (or snake).

There are two “circles” in the sandstone; one of them is almost certainly natural, while the larger one may be carved (but doesn’t display any peck marks).

At the northern end of the platform is an engraving of a single fish.
