From the Maitland Mercury report:
rare Aboriginal rock art site that features a larger-than-life, painted male figure overlooking the Hunter Valley has been given the state’s highest form of heritage protection.
Heritage Minister Mark Speakman said the site was nominated by the Wonnarua Nation Aboriginal Corporation which represents Wonnarua people, the traditional owners of the Hunter Valley.
