Series 1 (Figure 5)

One of the sites (Figure 5, above) represents “mythological spirit beings, the wife more elaborately decorated than the husband, with a fish and a legless emu, a bird sitting on its nest or on which the artist had not completed the legs“. The man dominates the rock platform, with his wife below.

The man or spirit being is ten feet tall, with three vertical bars close together on the right hand side of his chest.

The woman is 6′ 6″ in height, and is decorated with a 7-strand necklace, and two chevrons across her body, as well as two shorter stripes on her belly.

Nearby is a weathered fish, with a missing head and no fins.

The fourth figure on this platform is an emu ten feet in height, with a long pointed beak and head.

Series 2 (Figure 6)

The second site (Figure 6) “has an emphasis on common animals in the surrounding bush – echidna, wombats, wallaby and kangaroo, flying phalanger [possum] – with a noosed bird, several fish, eels and snakes, fishing lines and a fish spear and the weapons of men, essentially a food getting theme for a group as a whole, and whether it had any relationship to the pair of mythological spirit people cannot be decided“.

At the bottom of the second rock platform is a long three-pronged fish spear (which is over 17 feet or five metres in length) and an equally long fishing line. Next to the fishing line is a snake about 8′ 6″ (2.7m) in length. The snake has twelve bars across its body.

Next to the snake is an eel.

A fish is next to the eel.

Next to the fish is an indeterminate figures, described as “marine creature”.

Also part of this group of figures are two shields and a second fish (the line next to the shields is the fishing spear).

In the middle of the rock platform are three figures described as a skate or stingray (with a single tail-line), an eel and a jellyfish with “three conical projections at the end”.

Above these figures are two wombat, both about the same size.

The rear wombat has a “sinuous snake” across its body.

At the top of the rock platform is a phalanger (possum or glider) in flight.

At the opposite end of the rock platform is a leaping kangaroo, which is missing its head. While the kangaroo looks like it has been speared, it was described as having a fishing line running across it.
