Summary: A small Aboriginal engraving site near the Lyre Trig in Kariong, which has a mundoe and a kangaroo.

Above the Lyre Trig Fire Trail on a small rock platform surrounded by scrub is a small Aboriginal rock engraving site, which has ten figures recorded by Bob Pankhurst:

  1. Small wallaby
  2. Large mundoe (footprint)
  3. Unknown animal
  4. Small wallaby
  5. Two small mundoes
  6. Unfinished or eroded animal
  7. Wallaby or dog
  8. Fish.
  9. Eel.

The most distinct figures are a wallaby (1) or kangaroo, and a large mundoe or footprint (2).

Both figures are quite lightly grooved, with the head of the wallaby or kangaroo hard to make out.

The other figures photographed by Pankurst include an unknown animal (3), a second wallaby (4), an eel (9) and two small mundoes (5).
