Summary: A very weathered shelter in Mount Colah, originally documented as having five figures drawn in charcoal.

First recorded by R Taplin in the 1970s, the shelter was reported as having five figures, including a kangaroo and human figure (a seated male figure with headwear).

The charcoal figures are have suffered from exfoliation; most are longer visible with only one figure remaining.
