Summary: Aboriginal engraving of an indeterminate object, near the Mitchell Fire Trail

Surrounded by thick scrub, this Aboriginal engraving near the Mitchell Road Firetrail is a little oddly shaped and hard to make out what it represents.

It may be poorly formed fish, which has been speared. One side of the figure has a much deeper pecked groove.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Hornsby Shire - which is the largest LGA in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan region - contains approximately 600 recorded Aboriginal rock art sites (and over 1,200 Aboriginal heritage sites). These date back from thousands of years to post-European contact art.
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.
