First Nations People along the Australian coast have a deep and enduring connection with whales. Rock engravings and stories highlight this strong relationship, with some engravings and paintings estimated to be over 1,000 years old. The whale is a significant totem for many Indigenous Australians, including the Darkinjung People of the Central Coast of NSW.
