At the northern end of this main panel, image enhancement shows both the white/scratched figure, and some indeterminate red ochre motifs.

On a separate panel is an infilled echidna.

Another panel has three partial wallabies or kangaroos – “of an outline form almost as if someone was sketching to practice that representation”.

The last, small panel has an infilled wallaby/kangaroo.
