Summary: A low cliff-line with red ochre figures (including two emu tracks) and two sets of hand stencils

A very shallow overhang along Linden Ridge in the Blue Mountains, which has a small panel of Aboriginal rock art in red ochre.

The figures have been described as emu tracks and possibly a goanna.

Two motifs have the distinct appearance of animal tracks; the remaining lines don’t represent any obvious figure.

About 15m to the east along the same cliff-line are two sets of hand stencils. The first set has four stencils, although only one is easily visible.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Hornsby Shire - which is the largest LGA in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan region - contains approximately 600 recorded Aboriginal rock art sites (and over 1,200 Aboriginal heritage sites). These date back from thousands of years to post-European contact art.
Over 40 sites have been recorded within the park; many were located along the river bank and were flooded by the building of the weir in 1938.
