Summary: An overhang above Tootie Creek with very weathered Aboriginal hand stencils; nearby is a small set of grinding grooves.

A remote overhang above Tootie Creek contains what may have been an impressive gallery of Aboriginal rock art. It’s now very weathered, a section of the shelter has collapsed and there has been some exfoliation.

There are at least four hand stencils in red ochre.

There may also be charcoal art; it’s very hard to distinguish between what may be remants of painting, and smoke damage or natural discolouration.

A nearby creek has two grinding grooves.
