This lightly trafficked walk starts from a car park at the end of Bulgandry Road, off Woy Woy Road in Kariong.

Starting from the car park, it is a short stroll along a wheelchair accessible concrete path to the site, through lovely forest, with occasional brief views out across the park.

The site has an incredible variety of sacred Aboriginal rock art engravings, which have been very well-preserved, with many most than 200 years old, and many presumed to be potentially ten times that age. 

The location is believed to be a community site with many engravings of people and animals.

One of the largest engravings is that of Bulgandry, thought to represent an ancestral hero, who wears an elaborate headdress. 

In one hand, Bulgandry holds a club or small boomerang, while in his other hand he appears to hold a shield. He also has a decorated object positioned horizontally across his waist, which may be a woomera, or spear thrower.

There are also engravings of hunting scenes, including where humans are hunting wallabies or spearing fish. 

Fish, eels, dolphins, octopus and birds are among the other animals depicted in the engravings, as well as an engraving of what is likely a canoe. 

There are also stone tool sharpening grooves that can be seen nearby the engravings, where stone axes would have been made and sharpened.

There is a well-constructed wooden boardwalk that loops around the perimeter of the site, with informative signage detailing what is depicted in the engravings.

Ensure you visit the site with the upmost respect by staying on the path. Do not walk on or touch the engravings.

Indigenous sites such as this provide invaluable insight into Aboriginal traditions, past lifestyles and previous interactions with the environment. These sites have significant importance to Aboriginal culture, so visit the site carefully and with respect. 

The best time to photograph the engravings is in the early morning or later afternoon (before the sun gets too high), or on overcast days and after rain. 

This is a great walk to pair with a visit to nearby Staples Lookout and Stroms Lookout, or before or after tackling the longer nearby Bouddi Coastal Walk.

Track: The trail involves a concrete path and wooden boardwalk. The track is well-signed and easy to follow. 

Difficulty: This is an easy track and is relatively flat, suitable for all fitness levels, and is wheelchair accessible. 

Direction: This is an out-and-back track that returns the way it came, with a small wooden boardwalk loop at the art site that can be completed in either direction.
