One of three long rock ledges, this Aboriginal engraving site near the Milyerra Trail has a waterhole near the middle, three axe grinding grooves, and 16 engravings along its length (including a fish, multiple birds, a headless kangaroo and a set of 15 ovals).
Many of these engravings (Sim Group 167, Series 5) are hard to see without good lighting: this small engraving of a bird is one of the most distinct. Next to the small pothole is a curved drainge groove.
On the other side of the small pothole is a fish, which is missing a tail.
A second bird at the eastern end of the site is less distinct.
Next to the bird is an eel.
Another motif was described as an “elongate figure [with] round end, narrow parallel shaft with long bar in the middle of open end, with several pits along the middle of the shaft”.
Near the middle of the site is a man with outstretched arms.
A set of “fifteen small circles” look almost natural after hundreds of years of erosion from water seeping across the rock.
A “headless wallaby” or kangaroo has two punctures on its body, and an oval with a line protruding from its body.
The three axe grinding grooves are at the western edge of the ledge.
