Within a large and rarely-visited shelter along a cliff-line in Mt Ku-ring-gai above Sams Creek is what would have been one the most spectacular Aboriginal rock art painting sites in Sydney’s north, before the drawings deteriorated through natural weathering.
Next to a charcoal figure is a larger figure (resembling a man) drawn in red ochre.
Most of the artwork is in charcoal, with the largest panel containing multiple motifs.
The charcoal drawings (as well as one red ochre motif) continue along most of the back wall of the sandstone shelter, and depict a number of different animals.
Unlike many other shelters around Mt Ku-ring-gai, there is no graffiti and no evidence of recent habitation.
