Along the picturesque Coolana Brook (named after the Aboriginal word for “flying fox”) is a small waterfall which drops into a shallow pool.
On the eastern side of the creek is a very long and fairly high shelter.
Over 30 Aboriginal paintings including turtles, lizards and boomerangs were documented as being in this shelter (in red and brown pigments) in the 1970s, as well as extensive vandalism in the form of vividly-coloured non-Aboriginal figures. Today there is no evidence left of any Aboriginal rock art, although the non-Aboriginal “art” remains.
