Summary: Aboriginal engravings of four kangaroos, a wombat and what looks like an emu on a rock platform near the Salvation Loop Track.

Two kangaroos and a wombat are the most deeply carved and most prominent Aboriginal engravings on a large rock platform near the Salvation Loop Track. The two kangaroos are near the middle of the platform, and are leaping towards the west.
