Growing Maroota Historic Site

E-mail Print PDF

Maroota Historic Site protects one of the most significant Aboriginal rock carvings in Australia. It contains over 60 engravings, 20 grinding grooves and the unique engraving of a sailing ship with a figure which is probably that of a European woman.

Laughtondale Road forms one boundary of the site, separating it from Marramarra National Park. On other sides it adjoins Crown land and private property. It covers an area of 32.62 hectares.

Devils Rock in Maroota Historic Site is on the Register of the National Estate for its Aboriginal art.

The Foundation purchased Devil’s Rock in 1983 to protect the Aboriginal art and engravings.

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife is the only organisation in Australia whose philanthropy is an investment in our public estate, for all to enjoy.
