Above Sams Creek is this very deep and large shelter, which may have been an Aboriginal occupation shelter as well as a rock art site.
The rock art consist of a life-size but very weathered wallaby or kangaroo; you ca name out most of its body.
The kangaroo’s head is stil fairly distinct.
Near the kangaroo are a number of mostly indeterminate motifs in charcoal and red ochre (one of them may depict a bird).
Next to this shelter is a much smaller shelter, with a larger array of Aboriginal rock art.
First documented in a video by the Sydney North Venturers over fifteen years ago, this site was protected by thick scrub and only recorded ten years later (the echidna is located in a separate site on the same cliff line).
The largest figure appears to depict a headless emu, next to an indeterminate charcoal figure.
Above the emu are four charcoal motifs; the smaller two may represent kangaroo tracks. Superimposed on the charcoal motifs are five hand stencils in red ochre.
