Additional Information submitted by Drew Parsons in November 2014: This is an extensive site with many carvings although some are hard to identify especially in bright light. There is a diagram of the carvings on the very helpful and informative ATNF website shown in the references below. To reach the site drive north from Sydney city and take the A8 towards Manly Vale. Turn left onto Allambie Road and then right into Corkery Crescent and immediately right again into Gumbooya Street. The site is in the reserve at the end of Gumbooya Street. References: ATNF site
