- Caption title.
- Scarred trees are trees which have had bark removed by indigenous Australians, for use in the making of canoes, shields, shelters, and containers (such as coolamons). They are among the easiest to find archaeological sites in Australia. Australian native Eucalypt species such as box and red gum were most commonly used.
