Summary: A weathered panel of Aboriginal rock art in a long but shallow shelter above Cabbage Tree Creek, with at least 15 charcoal motifs.

This very long and shallow shelter contains many Aboriginal rock art figures; while most of the motifs are now fairly weathered, it would have been spectacular panel of art.

One of the most distinctive figures are two sets of wavy lines, which are in charcoal and red ochre.

There are many more charcoal motifs, although it is hard to determine what they represent.
