Summary: Two adjacent Aboriginal rock art sites on Rock Island in Wollemi National Park, with five hand stencils in white ochre.

At the base of an enormous cliff-line on the northern side of Rock Island in the Wollemi National Park are two adjacent Aboriginal hand stencil sites. The eastern-most site has three stencils, all in white ochre.

One of the stencils is very distinct, and the other two much more weathered.

About a hundred metres further along the same cliff-line is a second Aboriginal site, which also has hand stencils.

Again, there is one very distinct hand stencil, and a second much fainter stencil.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Located to the north-west of Sydney, just south of the Dharug and Yengo National Parks, Maroota has a high concentration of (known) Aboriginal sites. Many more Aboriginal heritage sites are located in the Marramarra National Park. The original inhabitants of the area were the Darug people.
Yengo National Park was an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and 640 Aboriginal cultural sites are recorded in the park and nearby areas.
