Summary: A whale and bird engraving, and number of “stone circles” formed by thousands of small pebbles arranged in neat circles.

A short distance from the Mackerel Trail and protected by thick scrub is an Aboriginal engraving of a large whale, about 25 feet long. Attached to the whale’s upper lip is an oval (similar to the Road to Nowhere whale in Garigal NP).

On the same rock platform as the ibis is a stone arrangement: “Loose stones have been gathered in patches” (McCarthy).
