Summary: An Aboriginal rock art site with two charcoal motifs in a shelter north of Little Tootie, in Wollemi National Park.

A long and tall shelter on a low cliff-line north of Little Tootie in Wollemi National Park, which contains some charcoal Aboriginal rock art.

There are two motifs, one of them a longer “figure” in an alcove in the shelter – it unclear what it represents.

The second motif is smaller, and it’s equally hard to distinguish what it represents.
