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

The Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area protects over 3,000 known Aboriginal heritage sites, and many more which are yet to be recorded. This area includes the Blue Mountains National Park, Gardens of Stone, Wollemi National Park and Yengo 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.
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.
