Summary: A small sandstone shelter with remnant Aboriginal rock art, including at least three hand stencils and a charcoal figure.

A small shelter at the base of low cliff line above Berowra Creek, which contains faded Aboriginal hand stencils and charcoal art.

The three hand stencils are in red ochre.

The most distinct charcoal motif is indeterminate.

A second, sinuous charcoal figure may represent a snake – or it may be natural pigmentation.

From above the shelter, there are nice views over Berowra Creek towards Collingridge Point.
