Description
This beautiful site is protected by a wooden walkway, permitting easy access so that you get an excellent view of all the engravings without having to walk on the stone, which would damage the engravings. Bulgandry is actually the name given to the ancestral hero depicted at this site, and which is probably the most spectacular aspect of it.
Bulgandry is wearing a headress, holding a circular object in one hand (a shield?) and an elongated object in the other, while at his waist is a club or woomera.
Close to him is an elongated object which may be a canoe, which is rarely seen in engravings. The third unusal object is a spider or octupus (in any case, it has eight legs) next to a kangaroo.
Stanbury and Clegg show him holding a crescent-shaped object, which may be a boomerang or a crescent moon. But it's now very hard to make out such an object in his hand, although there is an indication of an elongated object above his hand.
