Mount Yarrowyck Aboriginal Cultural Walk
Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve protects an Aboriginal cave painting site and much of the natural environment of Mount Yarrowyck. The reserve's
Aboriginal cultural walk, a three kilometre return track, will take you along the granite slopes of the mountain to the cave painting site.
The track will take you through one of the few remnants of natural bushland on the western slopes of the New England Tablelands. The walking track is
clear and easy to follow and, apart from one short section, it is level and undemanding.
Aboriginal heritage of the reserve forms part of the traditional territory of the Anaiwan people of the New England Tablelands. The Aboriginal art is
believed to be between 150 and 500 years old.
The land and waterways, and the plants and animals that live in them, feature in all facets of Aboriginal culture – including recreational, ceremonial, and
spiritual and as a main source of food and medicine. They are associated with dreaming stories and cultural learning that is still passed on today. We work
with local Aboriginal communities to protect this rich heritage.
