Summary: An interesting Aboriginal rock art site in Yengo NP, near Pademelon Road. The long shelter has both white stencils and red ochre drawings.

Below Pademelon Road in Yengo National Park, this impressively long shelter has two panels of Aboriginal rock art.

At one end of the long shelter is a panel with a boomerang and multiple hand stencils in white ochre.

At the western end is a more complex panel, with multiple figures in red ochre.

The figures may be humans – or deities – or a combination of the two, as well as an emu and vertical lines.

There are also some white lines, or white figures. It’s not possible to determine what they represent.

Aboriginal Sites by National Park

Yengo National Park was an important spiritual and cultural place for the Darkinjung and Wonnarua People for thousands of years, and 640 Aboriginal cultural sites are recorded in the park and nearby areas.
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.
