A low but very deep shelter above a creek in Maroota State Forest contains a large number of charcoal motifs, on the wall and roof of the shelter.
The most prominent figures are two large birds – possibly emus – on a smooth panel on the lip of the shelter. Two more motifs on the panel are indeterminate.
One of the birds/emus has a distinct beak (the motif on the left may represent an eel).
Next to the two bird/emu heads is an indeterminate charcoal motif.
On the ceiling of the shelter ia a large indeterminate figure, which may be another bird or emu.
Two more bird-like figures are on the wall of the shelter.
This charcoal motif appears to also depict the outline of a large bird or emu.
Two snakes are drawn in charcoal on the ceiling of the shelter.
A small motif in charcoal may be a small bird, or insect.
This charcoal motif appears to depict another animal.
