After a short 750 metre walk from the main entrance to Stonewoman Aboriginal Area, past grey kangaroos basking in the sun on open grazing lands, you come across something very special. Tingha Stonewoman is an unusual rock formation with spiritual and cultural significance for local Aboriginal people, descended from the Murri. Nobody knows how old Tingha Stonewoman is, but her legend is a Gamilaroi story. A sign prepared in collaboration with the Tingha community which also helps maintain the site tells the tale of a young woman punished for breaking traditional marriage laws.
