- Summary:
-
In 1889 W.D. Campbell found 80 rock carvings mostly fish and including sharks, whales, porpoises and squid and a "part man-part iguana" figure on the flat top of the cliffs at North Bondi, New South Wales. In June 1964 restoration work was advised and carried out on the weathered engravings. The re-grooving of the rock carvings was completed later that year. A bronze plaque was set in the sandstone so that the archaeological quality of the carvings was not misinterpreted.
