A shallow sandstone overhang above McCarrs Creek contains a number of red ochre hand stencils. It’s about 600m from McCarrs Creek Site 2, which also has an impressive number of hand stencils.

There are about 20 hand stencils, most of which are remarkably well-preserved considering that the shelter does not offer a lot of protection against the elements.
