      History

      Brief description of site: A boulder sitting in a plateau area high on Banda hill just below the central rock mass that forms the peak. The boulder overhangs to the east providing a small shaded shelter but little real protection. Quite an arduous walk up from valley floor, reasonably impressive views.
      Brief description of art: Pictographs quite faint and dust covered. Reasonably well protected from rain but have been disturbed by a combination of termites, bird nests and human activity in the shelter. Name scrawling in black charcoal covers part of the panel. Motifs include: 5 concentric circles and a more complex circle and line design, applied by finger in red, filled with white. All but one of the concentric circles has six red circles. Also a few sets of parallel vertical lines and a short horizontal sausage shape with internal vertical divisions, applied by finger in red.
