AddBy: Nathan Brown 1st Jul 2025 1:44PMDuring an Aboriginal Studies camp in the mid 90's we were taken, by an Aboriginal fellow with the last name Da Silva, to a site north of Wollombi on Paynes Crossing road.
The site was a large boulder with an undercut section and in there was the 6 fingered hand print. It was small in size and we were told that the print was from a yowie and that yowies were smaller than people thought and had 6 fingers.
