Summary: Large Aboriginal rock shelter in the Big Yango Precinct, which has weathered charcoal drawings and two hand stencils.

Located in a gully off Wollombi Arm in the Big Yango Precinct of Yengo National Park, this large sandstone shelter contains a number of Aborginal drawings – but they are all fairly weathered.

Of the more identifiable charcoal motifs, there are two overlapping kangaroos.

A couple of motifs look like human figures.

Many of the other motifs are indeterminate.

There are two hand stencils; one very hard to see, and the other fairly obvious.
