Summary: The Gallery consists of two faded galleries of Aboriginal art near the Oaks Trail - one with red ochre figures and the other charcoal.

A series of overhangs have multiple panels of Aboriginal rock art (unfortunately natural weathering has eroded many of the figures).

Red Ochre art

One of the shelters has only red ochre motifs; the largest is what appears to be a prone human-like figure.

There are three abstact infilled shapes; it’s unclear what they represent.

Charcoal Panel

An adjoining shelter has only charcoal motifs, which include two kangaroos.

There is also a small human figure.
