Big Wave Bay Rock Carvings
Big Wave Bay Rock Carvings
The Big Wave Bay Rock Carvings were discovered in 1970 by a police officer. They are located on a seaside cliff, covering an area of 90 cm by 80 cm. The motifs consist of abstract bird and animal patterns, largely geometric in design. Archaeologists estimate that the carvings date back to the Neolithic period. It is believed that the carvings were made to protect seafarers, reflecting the ancient inhabitants' reverence for navigation and astronomy. The site has now been covered with a protective shelter.
