Summary: An isolated shelter along Linden Ridge, which has 12 Aboriginal hand stencils (most in red ochre)

Below Linden Ridge is a small cliff line, along which there is a small but deep shelter with a number of Aboriginal hand stencils in red ochre. Although not very close to any permanent creek, a hanging swamp above means some water drips over the front of the shelter even when it’s not raining.

The main cluster of motifs has nine partial or full hand stencils, and what appears to be a fist.

Nearby are another two hand stencils, in white ochre (only one of them can be easily seen).
