At the top of the cliff we were guided to Aboriginal rock carvings. My hunch is that they were inspired to engrave at this spot because the rock at this site appears like others have done their own engravings.

Combined with the tree trunks of the Scribbly gum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_haemastoma), these were some very interesting images.

We also saw quite a bit of wild life -- swamp wallabies appear to be the Australian squirrel or raccoon at the local camp grounds, lots of birds like bald eagles, cormorants, terns, parakeets, a possible jumper jack, and sulphur crested cockatoos that appear to be the local pigeon. The views were also great, especially once we got off the beaten path.
