Sorry bout that , I can't find the video now . It wasn't worth watching anyway .
The picture was much better than anything in the video which was just music and various zoom ins of the picture you see .
The youtube user's name is Goldnbrownman but I can't seem to find him .

Looks like one of Norman Lindsay's garden sculptures and part of his tribute to "The dreaming". His property has extensive work by him carved into rock outcroppings.

... or some of William Rickett's early work...

His sanctuary at Mt Dandenong is well worth the visit.

I must vehemently disagree! It is clearly the 1,000,000 year old work of visiting aliens!

@ Wolf. Yes it is reminiscent of Rickett's carvings but I dont think this is one of them. It is interesting that the mythology surrounding the Puttikan of Mt Sugarloaf is associated with meteors and initiation as mentioned in the link I posted above from this page's archives. I am not saying that this rock is or could be a meteor just a thought really but some interesting information in the link below. Would be good to find out what these carvings are and their provenance and if they are on the Sugarloaf indeed.
