About Ewaninga Conservation Reserve
The reserve contains some outstanding examples of Australian rock art. The conservation reserve was gazetted on 20 November 1996 and the claypan is a slightly concave surface approximately 100 metres across. It retains water after even light rain, thus attracting many birds and animals. The claypan and surrounding outcrops are also a significantarchaeological site. The conservation reserve contains many prehistoric abraded and pecked engravings that provide an outstanding example of central Australian rock art. Some evidence suggest that these are at least 30,000 years old, while some say 40,000 years old. The main feature of the area is a set of about 1000 petroglyphs, distributed among the rock outcrops to the south and south-east of the claypan. Most of the petroglyphs are non-represent
