Many stones used by the Noongar [Aborigines] have been found on their campsites
throughout the area. Painted hand marks can still be seen on rocks at the Humps and Wave
Rock. Both of these rocks have water catchments to serve the local community and tourist
trade. (Department of Education and Training)
Hallam (1975) Frieze Cave is a sacred ceremonial place for boyl-yadas (magic bosses),
containing small tools for ritual function five miles south of York. Another reference is made
to this Cave by Berndt and Berndt (1979) “a cave at York had a circular figure cut into the
rock face, with hand stencils: this was said to have been 'visited' by the Moon”.
