Summary: A large overhang at the head of a gully in Murrays Run; it was documented at having five white female figures (which can no longer be seen)

An enormous shelter at the head of a creek above Murrays Run, which contains Aboriginal rock art – and possibly a single axe grinding groove on a boulder just below the overhang.

An archeological survey by Koettig and Hughes in the early 1980s documented “five white female forms” which were “beginning to fade but still discernable”. These could not be located.

Another panel has several indeterminate charcoal motifs, as well as some graffiti.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Red Hands Cave, Glenbrook (Blue Mountains)
The Blue Mountains National Park (and surrounding areas along the Great Western Highway) is thought to have over a thousand indigenous heritage sites, although much of the park has not been comprehensively surveyed. The Aboriginal rock sites in the Blue Mountains include grinding grooves, stensils, drawing and rock carvings.
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.
