Description

This is an extensive and complex site with a whale, humans, fish, and mundoes. It was once even bigger, with some 85 engravings. Sadly, it was re-grooved some years ago by Waverley Council, but some original engravings remain. Hopefully more are preserved under the turf of the golf course. The atmosphere should be fantastic up here on the cliff top, but it's rather marred by the nearby Ventilation Tower attached to the sewage outfall. Even so, it is an impressive site, and well worth a visit. Nearby are some European carvings which Lawrence Hargraves believed were evidence of an early voyage to Australia by the Spanish. To get there: Park in Military Road, Bondi, as close as possible to the Ventilation Tower. Walk up the paved path to the tower (mind the golf balls) and the engraved area is easily visible in a small fenced-off area just to the right to the tower.
