This large sandstone overhang is along a steep gully formed by a tributary of Mogo Creek; unfortunately much of the Aboriginal rock art has deteroriated or been damaged by graffiti. There were 44 motifs originally recorded; less then 10 can still be clearly seen.
Some of the more prominent motifs are part of a complex panel which had overlapping figures in charcoal.
Only two macropods (kangaroos or dingos) can still be seen – it’s uncertain if the white outlines are European or Aboriginal.
On the same panel but not recorded is what may be a human figure with upraised arms, in red ochre.
It’s unclear what the charcoal figures in this panel represent.
On the ceiling of the overhang is a speared kangaroo, and a small human figure.s
Under modern graffiti is an anthropomorphic figure.
There are are seven axe grinding grooves at the northern end of the shelter.
