Carisbrook Stone Arrangement

The Carisbrook stone arrangement is a well-preserved Aboriginal stone arrangement in Victoria [1]. The site consists of a double arc shape of boulders, a cairn of stones and other small stone circles [1]. The ends of the crescent point to the cardinal points [1]. It has been considered by some to be a male initiation ground, mainly on the basis of comparison with other similar sites in NSW [1]. This arrangement is believed to fall within the traditional land of the Wurn balug clan of the Djadjawurrung [1]. Following its rediscovery in 1963, interest was focussed on its interpretation and protection, with initial protection provided under the Archaeological Relics Office [1].
