[edit] Verification needed

I've added the verify tag to this article, as a word-of-mouth account by a descendent of an unnamed sailor is not enough of a citable reference.

The only reference I can find to this rock is in this PDF from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service: http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/PDFs/pom_final_lanecove.pdf

This mentions that the Fifth Commandment (only) was carved into the rock by, reputedly by a "Thomas Tunbridge" in the late 1800s. The account in this article says all 10 were carved by the children of a deserting sailor.

This is one of the cases where these photo request categories might be more useful than just picking random articles. --Scott Davis Talk 00:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrote Article

I rewrote the article based on the source. There might be an element of truth to the original article based on this mention[1]: "Take a break at Commandment Rock, where a family lived on the flat rock in 1866 with a small vegetable and strawberry farm." More info needed. John Dalton
