This remote Aboriginal rock art site near the Grose River in the Devils Wilderness contains a number of striking images. The most prominent motifs in the long sandstone shelter are over twenty human or human-like figures.
While similar to the Terraborra Panel in the Parr SCA, the figures here are much more stylised and a number of the men (or women) have no arms. None of the human-like figures have breasts or male genitalia.
It’s not clear what the smaller figure at the left-hand (eastern) end represents.
The figures at the western end of this frieze are the most human-life, with arms and legs, and in some cases heads.
Part of this frieze appears to have been lost erosion; a bit further to the right (west) are another four figures.
The panel has a separate man with out-stretched arms and legs; next to him are what appear to be the legs of more human figures (no trace can be seen of their upper bodies, even with image enhancement).
A couple more charcoal figures may depict animals.
