The sign reads:
Bulgandry Man site Kariong
"Bulgandry Aboriginal Site protects a special landscape, rich in Aboriginal art. The name Bulgandry was given to a large engraving of a man thought to represent an ancestral hero. He wears an elaborate headdress. In one hand he holds a club or small boomerang and in the other an oval object of unknown purpose. A decorated club is positioned horizontally across his waist. Bulgandry is believed to be a community site and has many engravings of people and animals. Wallabies feature in the engravings, some leaping and three feeding. The human figure nearby suggests that this is a hunting scene. Fish, dolphins and what apears to be a bird are among some of the other engravings. Some stone tool sharpening grooves can also be seen nearby. The engravings are located around 150 metres from this point. Please respect this special cultural area."
