One of two adjacent rock shelters along a tributary of Werong Creek, both of which contain Aboriginal rock art. This larger of the two shelters appears from the outside less likely to contain art, but has 90 motifs scattered over the walls and ceiling. (Only about 20m away is the Werong Creek Stencil Shelter 1.)
Almost every suitable surface is covered in hand stencils, including many on the ceiling.
Every wall contains hand stencils in white ochre.
One hand stencil is in red ochre; next to it may be remnants of more red ochre hand stencils.
As well as the multitude of hand stencils, there are six stencils of stone axes.
The shelter also has six boomerang stencils.
