Summary: A large platform below a ridge near Mount White it has a possible Aboriginal stone arrangement and rock engravings.

A large rock platform on a ridge near Mount White has Aboriginal engravings first documented by Ian Sim: “Emu, footprints, bird tracks, indeterminate object, lines and a few axe grinding grooves”.

The most prominent engraving is the emu, which is in on a section of rock that has frequent seepage.

There are a number of grooved water channels across the platform.

Sim also noted a stone arrangement; multiple scatters of rock may be the remnants of a bora ring.

It is one of a small number of Aboriginal rock art sites where the stone arrangement is visible in satellite imagery.

To the east is Leochares Peak and Mount Kariong.
