Description
In
the Brisbane Waters National Park are several hundred rock engraving
sites. The one pictured here, although rather faded and difficult to
interpret, is listed because it is close to the F3 and involves a short
pleasant walk through beautiful forest, and makes an excellent break
if you are heading North from Sydney.
Look
for the engraved man (shown below), and the kangaroo behind him. Many
other fragments of engravings are also visible.

To
get there
Leave
the F3 at the turn-off signposted to Woy Woy and Gosford, turn L (if
coming from the South) or R (if coming from the North) into Wiseman's
Ferry Road, and left onto the Old Pacific Highway going South. Take
the first left into Girrakool Picnic Area. Take the Girrakool Loop Track
(on the Eastern side of the Car Park) and after about 150m you will
reach the engraving site pictured above.
