W.D. Campbell recorded two deities, eight and twelve feet in height. They are both on a large rock platform towards the end of the spur. The larger of the two deities has an oval protuberance from his head, which may be an ornament.

The smaller deity is more weathered and is potentiallty an older engraving. The figure has outstretched hands and broader legs than the larger spiritual figure.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Hornsby Shire - which is the largest LGA in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan region - contains approximately 600 recorded Aboriginal rock art sites (and over 1,200 Aboriginal heritage sites). These date back from thousands of years to post-European contact art.
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.
