In thick scrub near the Waratah Track is a fish with a “long pointed head, rounded face, no eyes, good tail, with a hump on the head and an arc attached to the back for a fin, probably a snapper”.

Next to the fish is a “beautifully preserved” sword club.

It’s one of a series of Aboriginal engravings documented by McCarthy as the Arden Trig Station series; Campbell documented the fish – but the sword club.
On the same rock platform – and somewhat unexpectedly as it’s hidden in thick scrub – is a more moden engraving of what is perhaps a spaceship.
