Summary: A small shelter above New Yard Creek which has a number of different Aboriginal rock motifs, including a human figure, bird track and a snake as well as hand stencils.

This small shelter above New Yard Creek in Wollemi National Park contains some interesting charcoal and white rock art as well as many hand stencils, in a fairly small space.

The main panel has a human figure and what may be an emu or animal print (with what appears to be square shapes above it), in charcoal.

Harder to see are figures in white – one appearing like a simplistic figure of a man, with upstretched arms.

Above this human figure is an eel or snake-like figure.

There are another two snake-like figures in white.

On the roof of the shelter is another charcial motif.

Scattered around the wall of the shelter are at least six hand stencils – many hard to see.
