ABORIGINAL RELICS NEAR BROKEN HILL 
By A. B. BLACK AND CHARLES FENNER 
Summary 
In the latter part of 1943, when one of the authors (C.F.) was on a visit to Broken Hill, 
N.S.W., the other author (A.B.B.) stated that he knew of a site near the Broken Hill 
Racecourse where there were curious arrangements of stones which he thought might 
be of aboriginal origin. With Mr. J. F. Paterson, who was also interested, a visit was 
therefore paid to the area. 
Site. The area in question lies about four miles to the north of, and in sight of, Broken 
Hill, on the right hand side of the Old Main Road from Broken Hill to Stephens 
Creek, and opposite to the Broken Hill Racecourse. The relics in question consist of a 
series of what we have called “hearths’, arranged in four or more irregular groups, and 
spread over an area about 60 yards wide from west to east and 450 yards long from 
south to north. (See plan).
