Chullawong Rock Art Site
The following information is from the document “Boobarran Ngummin Trip Understanding Cultural landscapes Teachers Kit for Grades 5-6 ” https://www.gummingurru.com.au/myfiles/836354bd405800423e562f8683b81cb9
Chullawong is a sandstone rock art site near Gatton in southeast Queensland. Located approximately 97 kilometres south-southwest of Brisbane, the Jagera people (also known as Yuggerah, Yuggerapul or Jagerapul) visited this site when travelling north toward Esk and the Bunya Mountains. The Jagera people occupied an area spanning from Brisbane to the Toowoomba Range, and north to Esk. They are one of many peoples who would travel to the Bunya Mountains for festivities held every three years (Ross, 2008).
The site is a sandstone overhang with many engravings including drilled holes and lines, inverted arcs and what is believed to be bird tracks. As seen in the image above, the engravings are unlike other forms of rock art as they do not seem to depict animals and other ‘beings’. It is presumed that these markings tell a story of the frog dreaming. The markings found at this site are similar to those used for weapons decoration and body scarring (Morwood 1986).
