Although many Aboriginal engravings around Mount Penang have been lost to development, this small rock art site has been preserved in a section of Crown bushland. The figures were first documented by Ian Sim in the 1960s. Two eels are “head to tail”; the lower eel has been partly covered by encroaching vegetation.
Sim noted that the “head of the other [uppermost eel] is partly weathered away”, but it appears complete (albeit the grooves are fairly shallow).
Near the head of the uppermost are three more small figures:
Man upright, very narrow head with straight parallel sides and rounded end, no eyes or neck, straight arms half upraised, right one has 2 long fingers, one on each side, left arm truncated, thin straight sided body, legs curved inward and outspread, long round ended penis, a bulbous headed club, spike on top and pointed handle, projects from his right side at waist, and sword club or non-returning boomerang, projects from his left side, at waist, at an angle down across his foot.
McCarthy (1983)
Bob Pankhurst describes the eel as a fish, and has an enhanced image that better shows this group of three figures.
The small man in this group is an interesting carving, he has a boomerang and club, is very slender with a large penis and he has a haircoil on top of his head. He appears to be either holding the large fish above his head with both hands or stabbing it in the stomach with a knife in his right hand while his left hand holds it under the fin on the side of its neck.
Sim also reported two axe grinding grooves to the south-west of the eel (these are now covered over).
