Located within Dhawaral National Park but previously threatened by longwall mining, this shallow shelter at the base of tall cliffs contains some interesting Aboriginal rock art drawings. Graffiti dating back to the 1930s is present, but doesn’t impact the art.
The most unusual motif is an anthropomorphic figure with a head, eyes, ears, one horizontal arm, an upraised arm and torso; above and next to this figure are two infilled macropods as well as two more weathered macropods.
This charcoal seems to be a somewhat abstract human figure.
On the bottom of a sloping section of rock is another anthropomorphic figure.
On the lower roof section is this interesting composition, of a charcoal outline and infilled human figure and charcoal outline animal; it appears to be contact rock art depicting a European animal.
There are many more indeterminate and in some cases weathered charcoal motifs.
