Summary: An Aboriginal engraving site near the Topham Trail, which has two overlapping men.

At the end of a long and narrow rock platform west of the Topham Trail is an Aboriginal engraving site. The two men were described as having “arms out horizontally, each with some sort of high belt (above navel) with a kind of dilly bag or something attached, hanging away from the body”.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

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.
Over a hundred Aboriginal sites have been recorded in the Hornsby region, with many of these in the Berowra Valley National Park and around the suburb of Berowra.
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.
Over 40 sites have been recorded within the park; many were located along the river bank and were flooded by the building of the weir in 1938.
