Note

     Gullingutta an outstation, on Gragin (Gragsen)

     run, at head of Otley's Creek

     Tootoongra, bend of a creek on Gragin run

     Gooriarmi-armitinia a small tableland 

     above the hills.

     Mr Lamotte writes 'Riding down Otley's

     Creek we saw a large sandstone rock

     upon which, quite plainly, we noticed

     signs showing that for ages past blacks

     of the stone age had sharpened their

stone tomahawks upon this rock."

     This was in 1865 or 1866.
