A large stone stele on the south side of the Rapid Bay camping and picnic area has a printed anodised aluminium plate 'riveted' to it. It numbered #9 in 'The Tjilbruke Dreaming Track' series of markers, and the transcription follows:
Rapid Bay
"Although Tjilbruke did not create a fresh water spring here, this was one his summer camps.
"This area is also renowned for its spiritual significance to the Kaurna Aboriginal people; an Aboriginal body was found in a cave north of this cairn wrapped in kangaroo skin."
[There is a diagram illustrating an Aboriginal burial scene.]
