Located near Yengo National Park, these two adjacent shelters both contain Aboriginal rock art.
Stencil Shelter
The larger of the two shelters, this large overhang with a sloping floor has a single hand stencil.
The single hand stencil is in white ochre.
Sunburst Shelter
This very low boulders hides a wide variety of figures, including multiple sunburst motifs and tally marks.
Both of the large white ochre sunburst motifs have 14 rays; next to them are two sets of tally marks (which have also been described as girdles).
Both of the sunbursts have rays emanating a from a central hand stencil.
A third sunburst is next to six hand stencils, a white line and an emu track, also on the ceiling of the shelter.
Another set of tally marks is also on the low ceiling.
On the wall is a panel with five hand stemcils, and two foot stencils.
There are a total of 22 hand stencils in the shelter – some are weathered and hard to see.
