A long, sandstone shelter near O’Hares Creek has a long panel with over 50 charcoal drawings; most are in good condition.
The panel includes a large number of birds. which resemble emus.
A few are drawn unusually, in that their neck and heads curve around a natural lip in the rock.
There are a number of human figures, both male and female (and some indeterminate).
A long snake or eel stretches from close to the floor of the shelter to the ceiling.
At the base of the eel/snake is a macropod figure.
Some of the figures have been damaged by natural weathering, with their lower halves no longer visible.
There are many more indeterminate figures.
An adjacent shelter along the same cliff-line is larger and deeper, and has some remnant charcoal art.
Almost all the motifs are weathered and indeterminate.
