Nice find. Sometimes you see charcoal marks on the shells from when they were being roasted. Those big twisty conch-looking shells, you can always tell that a person has opened the shell from the holes in the shell always being in a certain place, it's not just natural or accidental breakage. The rocks throughout the site may have been used for opening the shells. Nostalgic to see the abalone shells; my dad his brother and my cousins used to dive for abalone off the rocks. That was decades ago, not many left close to the surface these days.
Thanks for the cool commnents mate. i did have my eyes out for burnt bits too but a lot of stuff has been washed awy in the recent floods, plus the scoriation of sand and water over the years. plenty of beach coal there though. I did see the kind of things you mention, plenty of that stuff in it. cheers man
Me & My Son Discovered a Miden in the Great Australian Bite Marine Park Lookout! Instead of taking the Track Back We Walked Straight through the Bush & Found it! I still have a couple Stone Knives & some Animal Bones!
