Summary: A low shelter along the Boree Track with Aboriginal drawings of men and women in charcoal.

Named by Uncle Warren Taggart, it’s obvious how this Aboriginal rock art shelter got it’s descriptive name: a large-breasted woman is drawn in charcoal in a small panel of art.

Next to the woman is a second smaller/younger woman, and a man with upstretched arms.

Nearby is another charcoal figure, which appears to depict a man.

The shelter is one of several along a very low cliff-line, and the only one containing art.
