Sydney Rock Engravings

Sydney rock engravings are a form of Australian Aboriginal Rock Art consisting of carefully drawn images of people, animals, or symbols, in the sandstone around Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Many thousands of such engravings are known to exist in the Sydney region, although the locations of most are not publicised to prevent damage by vandalism, and to retain their sanctity, as they are still regarded as sacred sites by Indigenous Australians.

They are comparable with the petroglyphs of Native Americans and the Rock Art found elsewhere in Australia, but have their own distinctive style which is quite unlike Rock Art found anywhere else in Australia.
