Hidden stone etchings beyond a bushland



There are some Aboriginal rock art around Sydney. One of those is in Bundeena which is the place we went last week. It is 30minutes away from Cronulla by ferry. Or you can drive through the Royal National Park. Aborigine people lived there since 30000 years ago or more. They called it Dharawal. The Dharawal people used to swim, fish, make canoes, carve, holiday and camp on the pristine shores of Port Hacking. If you walk along Jibbon beach, you’ll reach a unspoilt bushland. Through the bushland for about 400metres and you can find a huge sandstone outcrop with carvings that include a local mummaga (law giver), a stingray, a killer whale more than 11 metres long, a turtle, a kangaroo and a murrera.
