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.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Hornsby Shire - which is the largest LGA in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan region - contains approximately 600 recorded Aboriginal rock art sites (and over 1,200 Aboriginal heritage sites). These date back from thousands of years to post-European contact art.
Over 40 sites have been recorded within the park; many were located along the river bank and were flooded by the building of the weir in 1938.
