Summary: Just past the Marlong Arch in the Mount Morgan section of Carnarvon National Park is a small Aboriginal hand stencil site.

Just beyond the Marlong Arch in the Mount Moffat section of Carnarvon National Park are a number of Aboriginal hand stencils. This is not a signposted site, so very little information is available on this site, and the stencils may be relatively recent.

Most of the hand stencils are in a small, protected alcove at the base of the cliffs. Image enhancement reveals at least 14 full or partial stencils.

A few more stencils are scattered on the wall around the main panel; some are very faint.

Some of the deep holes in the sandstone may have been used as burial chambers.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Yengo National Park was an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and 640 Aboriginal cultural sites are recorded in the park and nearby areas.
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.
