Summary: Shelter above a tributary of Linden Creek, which has an extensive but weathered Aboriginal rock art panel with figures in charcoal and red ochre

Located along a tributary of Linden Creek, this long and curved sandstone shelter is situated above a small waterfall.

The figures are all quite weathered; the shelter is fairly damp and unusual in its proximity to the creek.

Although almost all the motifs are in charcoal, one figure was drawn in ochre (which isn’t visible without image enhancement) and infilled with charcoal.

There are over ten motifs, in what was probably a very impressive panel before deterioration of the art through natural weathering.
