1.0 INTRODUCTION<br />

1.1 Project Background<br />

Callan Point Aboriginal Heritage Management Plan<br />

Callan Point is situated within the Liechhardt Council area in the City of Sydney. The<br />

Point is formed on a sandstone outcrop projecting into Iron Cove on the western<br />

edge of Rozelle Hospital. The Point forms part of a series of Iron Cove foreshore<br />

open spaces used for public recreation.<br />

There have been three previous heritage studies of Callan Point [1991 NSW PWD;<br />

1995 Huys, Johnston & Wickman; and, 1998 Context pty Ltd, Greening Australia &<br />

Kate Sullivan & Associates). These studies provided management recommendations<br />

for the ongoing protection and conservation of the sites within the context of the<br />

public recreational use of the Point. The Aboriginal sites at Callan Point have also<br />

been considered as part of a number of archaeological research or site survey<br />

projects. These have resulted in multiple and varied recordings of the sites.<br />

The Callan Point Coastcare Project is currently undertaking a program of natural and<br />

cultural site protection works at Callan Point under funding from Coastcare [through a<br />

Natural Heritage Trust grant] and the NSW NPWS. The Callan Point Coastcare<br />

Project commissioned the present study to determine specific conservation issues<br />

and requirements for the Aboriginal sites on Callan Point. The study was originally<br />

limited to the recording and conservation assessment for one of the Aboriginal sites<br />

NPWS Site # 45-6-283 which has been previously assessed as the most important<br />

Aboriginal site on the Point. The study has placed this site in the context of the<br />

Coastcare Project bush regeneration and land management, and the other<br />

Aboriginal sites in the area.<br />

This study has been undertaken in partnership with the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal<br />

Land Council.<br />

The project tasks were to:<br />

• Record the sites noting observable changes in the condition of the sites<br />

• Supply recorded information as additional to the eXisting NPWS Site Forms,<br />

including a photographic record.<br />

• Prepare best scale mapping of the Point showing site locations and the current<br />

extent of observable scatters of midden material and identify potential sub-surface<br />

archaeological deposit Which would be labelled "archaeologically sensitive". Each<br />

class of data to be accompanied by a management strategy appropriate to it.<br />

• Provide a review of the current management recommendations concerning<br />

these areas and an Action Plan for recommended on - site protection works.<br />

• Produce a brief report on the above tasks including site descriptions, mapping<br />

and photographic record, the management review and a preferred management<br />

strategy [if different).<br />

Callan Point Aboriginal Heritage Management Plan<br />

1.2 Methods and Procedures<br />

Prior to the field works a search of the NSW NPWS Register of Aboriginal sites was<br />

undertaken. This provided the basis for a history of the previous site investigations<br />

and an assessment of their relative value in conservation planning. The recorded the<br />

current observable site conditions and variations noted. The sites have been<br />

accurately mapped at 1:500 scale [see Figure 1].<br />

The project included a series of site visits for the purpose of noting observable<br />

changes to the sites since the previous recordings, current impacts and threats and<br />

to gain an understanding of the current bush regeneration program and site<br />

remediation works.<br />

Conservation requirements [see Table 2] were developed in consultation with the<br />

Metropolitan LALC and the Callan Point Coastcare Project Coordinator.<br />

1.3 Acknowledgments<br />

David Eckstein, Leichhardt Council Senior Environment Officer coordinated the<br />

project, assisted in the field investigations and provided advice on bush regeneration<br />

and site remediation works in progress at the Point.<br />

Alan Madden and Andrew Roberts, Site and Education Officers of the Metropolitan<br />

Local Aboriginal Land Council assisted throughout the course of the field<br />

investigations and in the development of the action plan.<br />

Dr Val Atlenbrow, Australian Museum, provided additional information on the sites.<br />

2.0 SITE DATABASE<br />

2.1 Previous Archaeological Investigation and Site Recordings<br />

A Heritage study of Rozelle Hospital [1991 Environmental Design Group, NSW PWD]<br />

provided an initial assessment of the natural and cultural resources including Callan<br />

Point. The study provided brief gUidelines for the conservation of items of heritage<br />

significance and recommended the preparation of detailed conservation plans for<br />

specific areas inclUding the Point.<br />

The 1995 [Huys, Johnston & Wickman] study of the sites at Callan Point provided<br />

additional detailed site recordings for two sites on the Point. These recordings were<br />

not submitted to the NSW NPWS for accession on the Aboriginal sites Register.<br />

Other recorded sites in the area were not discussed. This study also provided<br />

significance assessments of these sites [1995:76-77] and recommendations on their<br />

future management [1995:79-85]. In summary, the stUdy recommended:<br />

• Open site :NPWS Site # 45-6-618<br />

Callan Point Aboriginal Heritage Management Plan<br />

1. establish a series of board walks following the existing paths. The board walk as<br />

described would have a hand rail positioned on the side of the path to limit<br />

movement over or access to the eroded surfaces in the vicinity of shell midden<br />

scatter or deposit. The board walk should be accompanied by a program of revegetation.<br />

2. fence off the entire headland area to restrict public access.<br />

3. re-vegetate the headland area and maintain existing tracks.<br />

• Sheltered Midden NPWS Site # 45-6-283<br />

Establish barrier [sandstone slabs) at front of shelter and bar access via an existing<br />

track down the hillslope to beach by the erection of a small rope fence at the top of<br />

the slope.<br />

The 1998 Conservation Management Plan for Callan Point [Context pty Ltd,<br />

Greening Australia & Kate Sullivan & Associates] briefly summarised the sites on the<br />

Point and prOVides a preliminary assessment of the heritage value of the sites in<br />

terms of scientific potential and Aboriginal cultural values. The stUdy apparently<br />

disagreed with the previous [HuyS,Johnston & Wckman 1995] study and suggested<br />

that the conservation and protection -measures should be as 'low key as possible'<br />

[1998:8) and that a 'precautionary approach' was needed [1998:11J. Identified site<br />

protection and management guidelines [1998:21] included:<br />

• Middens should be managed for preservation in a natural setting allowing future<br />

access.<br />

• The preferred method for preserving midden in sheltered contexts would be to<br />

cover with clean sand behind natural stone; in open contexts to cover with soil<br />

and indigenous grasses and groundcovers. Further reCOrding may be required.<br />

• Interpretation of the Aboriginal occupation sites should be undertaken but site<br />

locations lIhould not be made obvious.<br />

Specific conservation actions were recommended [1998: 24-25J which addressed the<br />

immediate site natural erosion and visitation impacts. These included the<br />

emplacement of permeable woven plastic cloth, or geotec matting, or rope-wood<br />

corduroy overlain by 200mm of suitable soil or clean building sand. The open midden<br />

should be ultimately covered by suitable vegetation cover. The sheltered midden<br />

should be ultimately covered with a 200mm layer of rock fragments 'like crazy paving'<br />

possibly in 'weak mortar' and finally with 'hardy salt-resistant groundcovers'. The<br />

efficacy of these measures should be monitored at six monthly intervals. Other sites<br />

assessed as having apparently limited value should be further recorded and<br />

investigated for appropriate management requirements.<br />

Attenbrow visited the sites between 1986 and 1989 and produced the most<br />

comprehensive recordings and scientific significance assessments of the sites at<br />

Callan Point as part of her research into the Aboriginal occupation patterns of Port<br />

Jackson [Attenbrow 1990J. She did not undertake any detailed or sub-surface<br />

investigation of the sites. Specific conservation requirements were beyond the scope<br />

of her stUdy. She recently [pers.comm] confirmed:<br />

• the high research value of NPWS Site # 45-6-283;<br />

• the relatively poor condition and low research potential of the midden deposits at<br />

NPWS Site # 45-6-1971,45-6·1972 and 45-6-618;<br />

• her assessment that NPWS Site # 45-6-1481 is not an Aboriginal site.<br />

Callan Point Aboriginal Heritage Management Plan<br />

A number of other archaeologists and an amateur recorder have also recorded these<br />

sites. Each recorder used different site number codes and provided various site<br />

maps and plans [see Table 1].<br />

The Metropolitan LALC has been variously consulted throughout the course of the<br />

previous investigations. The LALC made no specific recordings but have<br />

consistently indicated that the sites are important to the local Aboriginal community.<br />

The sites provide evidence of the history of Aboriginal ownership and occupation of<br />

the Sydney foreshores. The sites represent a depleted and deteriorating resource<br />

which the Metropolitan LALC are very concerned should be managed for<br />

preservation and educational use.<br />

2.2 Site Descriptions<br />

The various NSW NPWS Site Forms for the Callan Point Sites are presented in<br />

Attachment 3 and are summarised on Table 1.<br />

Site locations are ·shown on Figure 1.<br />

• NPWS Site # 45-6-283<br />

This sheltered midden site is located at the far end of the beach to the east of<br />

'Mushroom Rock [see Plates 1, 5, 6, and 7]. The site has a northerly aspect and is at<br />

the Beach level.<br />

The midden deposit is contained within a sandstone overhang within which the<br />

maximum useable space measures 410cm in length x190cm in height x310cm in<br />

depth. The deposit is also partially overlain and effectively preserved by a rock fall.<br />

The exposed face of the deposit is subject to wave action and to damage from Beach<br />

users. The deposit is unconsolidated in this portion, however it is likely to be<br />

undisturbed and> 50cm in depth to the rear of the shelter and under the rock fall.<br />

Deposit consists of 50% cockle; 40% oyster and 10% mud whelk and mussel in a<br />

bUff to dark brown sandy matrix. No stone or bone of a cultural origin is visible.<br />

• NPWS Site # 45-6-1971<br />

This site is a small sheltered midden within a low overhang on the beach 10m to the<br />

west of 45-6-283 [see Plates 1, 5, 8 and 9].<br />

The overhang is 610cm in length x 73cm in height x 195cm in depth. The midden<br />

deposit is located at the western end of the overhang within an area of<br />

300cmx195cm. The mouth of the shelter is partially obscured by thick grass and<br />

periodically is sUbject to accumulations of sand and debris following high tides and<br />

storms [Val Attenbrow pers. comm].<br />

The site consists of a highly disturbed surface scatter of oyster and cockle, reworked<br />

with recent storm deposited shell and mixed with litter and flotsam. The surfaces also<br />

contain the remains of recent rock fireplaces. Estimated depth of deposit is

Callan Point Aboriginal Heritage Management Plan<br />

3.0 MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN<br />

The principal management issues relate to the preservation and conservation of the<br />

Aboriginal sites in the context public recreational use of the place. The recreational<br />

use and natural erosion are the main causes of site deterioration.<br />

Natural erosion is evident along the Beach north of 'Mushroom Rock', and is caused<br />

by tidal action and stormwater damage. In very high tides the floors of the sheltered<br />

midden sites are inundated and sustain depositions of water grasses and flotsam.<br />

Recreational use of the Beach area affects the sites by scuffage, trampage, littering<br />

and the installation of occasional fireplaces [see Plate 9]. It is likely that. dogs and<br />

small burrowing animals cause damage from digging and scraping inside these<br />

shelters. A rowing marker [1500] has been painted on the outcrop at the mouth of<br />

one of the sheltered middens on the Beach [see Plate 5].<br />

On the hill slopes and upper elevations of the headland natural erosion is caused by<br />

slope wash and is accelerated by de-vegetation and exposure caused by recreational<br />

use. The impact of recreational use is largely evident in the consistent pattern of<br />

preferred walking routes [desire lines] across the headland, to the Beaches and<br />

along the Point. The walking tracks which criss-cross the area are well established<br />

and relate to persistent preferred routes through the area and to the waterside [see<br />

Plates 3, 4,11-17]. Vehicle access is not an option for users. Boats moored offshore<br />

occasionally store tenders on the Beach to the north of 'Mushroom Rock' [see Plate<br />

1]. The main. impacts on the sites are summarised on Table 2.<br />

3.1 Conservation Principles and On-8ite Issues<br />

The BurraCharter 1992 (The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural<br />

Significance) contains a set of principles for the conservation and management of<br />

significant places. This recommended conservation action plan has been prepared in<br />

accordance with those principles.<br />

General Principles relevant to the present study area:<br />

• The aim of site conservation and management is to retain the cultural<br />

significance of the place (Article 2).<br />

The significance of the place lies includes the physical remains of prehistoric<br />

Aboriginal places of occupation. The unique natural setting of the place is also<br />

recognised. Bush regeneration and weed removal is currently being undertaken in a<br />

systematic and sympathetic manner as part of the overall land management process.<br />

• Conservation and management techniques should respect the nature,<br />

associations and meanings of the place. It requires a cautious approach<br />

[conservative where there is lack of knowledge] of changing as much as is<br />

necessary and as little as possible (Article 3).<br />

Callan Point Aboriginal Heritage Management Plan<br />

• Conservation requires the retention of an appropriate visual setting, or<br />

visual curtilage. Proposed infrastructure should not adversely affect the<br />

setting (Article 8).<br />

The place is essentially a natural setting which supports some infrastructure relating<br />

to passive recreational use and appreciation of the natural setting. Alteration to this<br />

pattern is not recommended or proposed.<br />

• The removal of contents which form part of the cultural significance of a<br />

place is unacceptable unless it is the sole means of ensuring their security<br />

and preservation. Preservation is appropriate where the existing state of<br />

the fabric constitutes evidence of specific cultural significance (A.rticles 10<br />

and 11).<br />

The proposed action plan aims to conserve the sites without detriment to their<br />

content or setting. Proposed actions are conservative and are reversible. They do not<br />

limit future scientific research. Site conservation actions are compatible with the land<br />

management pbjectives of the Coastcare Project.<br />

• Appropriate records should be kept about any changes to the place<br />

including management decisions and additional site recordings as may be<br />

required. These records should be placed in a permanent public archive<br />

(Articles 26, 27 and 28).<br />

Most of the works to date have been preceded by appropriate professionals under<br />

the direction of the relevant land managers. Records of meetings, investigations and<br />

monitoring have also been maintained. Copies of reports and relevant<br />

correspondence have been made available to the Metropolitan LALC and effective<br />

liaison has been established.<br />

3.2 Recommended Conservation Actions<br />

1. NPWS Site # 45-6-283<br />

This sheltered midden site contained in situ cultural deposit of considerable depth<br />

which is partially protected by a rock slab fallen from the roof.<br />

The unprotected portion of the deposit should be:<br />

• retained by natural sandstone blocks [preferably derived from a local source].<br />

The larger the sandstone the more permanent the result. The placement should<br />

appear natural and not include use of mortar.<br />

• encased in geotec fabric held in place by a layer of clean sand and soil to be<br />

placed over the fabric between the retaining blocks and the rear of the overhang.<br />

• covered by suitable native ground cover. The mouth of the overhang could be<br />

further obscured by the establishment of suitable salt resistant prickly shrubs.<br />

The site environs should be:<br />

• enhanced by the removal of asthma weed and the establishment of salt resistant<br />

shrubs and hardy ground cover. This would also limit access to the site from the<br />
