Aboriginal engraving sites across Sydney’s north were first catalogued by W.D. Campbell (published in 1899 with detailed drawings and descriptions) as well as Robert Etheridge and R.H. Mathews (who both undertook more detailed analysis of a small number of significant rock art sites). Many more sites across Sydney’s north were documented in the 1940s by Fred McCarthy in a series of articles in the Mankind journal, and in the 1960s Ian Sim added many more site recordings in the same journal.

The publicly available recordings of Aboriginal rock art in Sydney’s north by Campbell, McCarthy and Sim are summarised below. They include the most significant Aboriginal engravings sites across what was originally nine parishes; this covers the area that is now the Northern Beaches, North Shore and Hornsby Shire.

(A separate page covers the Central Coast Aboriginal engraving sites recorded by Campbell, Sim and McCarthy.)

William (WD) Campbell

Campbell systematically recorded Aboriginal rock art sites across the colony of Sydney in the 1890s, documenting over 200 sites across six parishes. Most of the sites he recorded were in Sydney’s north, which included the parishes of Willoughby and Gordon (North Shore), Manly Cove and Narrabeen (which covers the Northern Beaches) and Cowan and Broken Bay (now Hornsby Shire).

Willoughby

Sadly, almost all of these sites in the Parish of Willoughby have been destroyed by urban development; they have been listed below for historical completeness.

Manly Cove

A surprising number of these Aboriginal sites in Sydney’s northern beaches are still intact, and preserved by small reserves or national parks. Most of the sites which have been destroyed were the result of quarrying and road construction prior to 1960.

Narrabeen

As with the Aboriginal engraving sites recorded by Campbell in the Manly Cove parish, many of these sites in Narrabeen have been preserved. Most of them are on small Crown reserves, and while the engravings are protected by legislation, they are are increasingly surrounded by development.

Gordon

Campbell recorded only three sites in the relatively small parish of Gordon (which is roughly equivalent to today’s Ku-ring-gai Local Government Area), all of which are still in good condition.

Almost every Aboriginal engraving site recorded by Campbell in the parish of Cowan – which covers the area around Berowra & Cowan – still exists. They are largely protected by being within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, which covers a large part of this parish.

Broken Bay

All of the Aboriginal engravings recorded within the Parish of Broken Bay (now the area around Terrey Hills and Duffys Forest) are likely to have survived except for one site along McCarrs Creek Road. Protected by Ku-ring-gai National Park, the few that can’t be found are most likely buried under vegetation, or have naturally weathered and as a result cannot be re-located.

Ian Sim

Ian Sim was a prolific recorder of Aboriginal rock art sites across NSW in the 1950s and 1960s, many of which were published in multiple volumes of Mankind, a journal which published scholarly papers on anthropology and related disciplines. Two of his journal articles covered sites in Sydney’s north (Sim documented many more sites on the Central Coast).

Fred McCarthy

McCarthy published many Aboriginal engraving sites across Sydney’s north from the 1940s to the 1960s in the Mankind journal. All of these sites – as well as those published by Campbell and Sim – were included in his two-volume Catalogue of Rock Engravings in the Sydney-Hawkesbury District. This detailed collection of Aboriginal rock arts in Sydney’s north covered eight parishes (summarised below in the order they are documented).
