This scattered group of Aboriginal engravings is located on a ledge below the ridge that leads to Lyre Trig; it was first documented by W.D. Campbell in 1899 and later by Fred McCarthy. The figures consist of “four circles, a fish-like figure, and a small emu, two other circles are also a few feet away, the other figures are three wallabies, a skate, and two eels”.
Most of the figures are now both weathered and covered by soil and vegetation. Bob Pankhurst recorded one of the wallabies and circular figures which are at one end of the group.
A significant proportion of the wallaby has suffered from weathering and exfoliation, and the circles buried under 10cm of soil and vegetation.
The back section of another wallaby has also suffered from the rock breaking up; the first photo is from Bob Pankurst taken in 2005; the second in 2024 showing more extensive exfoliation.
The two eels and a skate / stingray (photographed by Bob Pankhurst, below) are all deeply buried.
