Summary: Low shelter with Aboriginal art below Mount White, which has a complex panel of (mostly) charcoal figures.

Below Mount White is a low shelter, which has an interesting panel of Aboriginal charcoal art. It was mentioned by Ian Sim in the 1960s in association with a nearby engraving site (Mount White Trig Aboriginal Site – Series 4).

Two infilled figures may be birds.

The same panel also some smaller animals, which includes a kangaroo.

A small, recessed panel contains six small figures, that look like fish.

While almost all of the art is charcoal, one of the figures includes red ochre.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

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.
Yengo National Park was an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and 640 Aboriginal cultural sites are recorded in the park and nearby areas.
