It's a Dog's Life at Pearl Beach.

A nice Sunday afternoon walking the dog with Andrew and Zane at Pearl Beach on the Central Coast.

Zane thinks Andrew would make a good model. Charlie is just embarrassed .


A stick can be so much fun.

Aboriginal engraving site in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.


Aboriginal engravings.
'Pecked petroglyphs' as the engraving are know, were made by striking the rock surface with a pointed stone or a strong shell. Small pits or holes were made and usually overlapped to form a groove. Using water as a lubricant, rough grooves were smoothed out to form an outline.
 The pecked designs took a variety of forms - concentric circles, lines, the outlines of animals, people, fish, birds, weapons, reptiles, animal tracks and mythical beings.
