This shallow overhang above Wheeny Creek has a large gallery of Aboriginal rock art, with over fifty motifs mostly in charcoal.
Some of the identifiable figures include a human figure with upstretched arms and over-sized hands.
On the ceiling of the shelter is a human-like figure with outstretched arms and legs.
A woman with upstretched arms is next to an unusually drawn animal.
A similar figure with a triangular head also has upstretched arms.
Superimposed on a faint hand stencil and indetermite charcoal motifs is a large wallaby or kangaroo in red ochre (the only figure which has been drawn in this pigment).
As well as a hand stencil, there is an outline of a hand in charcoal – an unusual motif.
The site has four eels; two of them are larger than the others (and one of them is depicted above two smaller figures).
These motifs may depict more men, or anthropomorphic deity figures.
The lower half of one panel has weathered badly; the largest of the motifs appears to depict a half-animal, half-human figure.
There are many more indeterminate charcoal figures.
The adjacent overhang to the south also contains a very weathered charcoal drawing of a male figure.
