Big Rock - This Place

16 September 2020
Culture and Capability
Large low and rounding rocks protrude from the soil. In the background are trees and a cloudy sky.

Uncle Freddie Dowling tells the story behind the rocky outcrop at Berrigan, the Place of big rocks.

The land surrounding Berrigan is flat as far as the eye can see — except for one rocky out crop hidden down a dirt road and surrounded by farmland.  On this rocky outcrop is a waterhole and a manmade filtering system that is an estimated 5000 years old. Uncle Freddie Dowling tells the story behind this beautiful Country.
