Ngayirr Murru - Secret Carvings

Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi & Wailwan Men sharpened stone spear points and axe heads by grinding them against abrasive sandstone or slate along the Castlereagh river or dry creek beds, creating grooves and smooth, durable edges, a process often done with water, sometimes using plant fibers for fine shaping, and utilizing tools like hammer stones to create preforms and specialized points.

Some creeks near Gilgandra NSW have a few of these rock markings present today along the creek. It’s pretty humbling to sit near them knowing warriors and hunters were once present in a different time.
