Additional information submitted by Drew Parsons in November 2014: To reach this site travel to Waverton Station in North Sydney and walk south following Balls Head Road. Follow the signs to "The Coal Loader" which is a European Naval Base historic building now an environmental and eco centre. The engraving is right next to the Coal Loader building. There is an informative site sign and a wooden viewing platform below the site. The railings and paint in the grooves mentioned in the link above are no longer there. It is possible to walk around the coastline from here to Berry Island engravings by returning along Balls Head Road and taking the steps down on the north side of the naval depot to follow a coastal path into Badangi Reserve where a trail leads to Shirley Way. Turn left (south) here to enter Berry Island and its trail past its engraving site.
