Biographical history
Brief description of site: A rock on the lower slopes of Bunda hill east side. On its east face are two small recesses, neither with a ceiling higher than one metre. The larger of the two would be just big enough hold two people lying down. Potsherd debris suggests this may have been used occasionally. It would have made a good hiding place, short-term shelter or storing hole.
Brief description of art: A group of red designs are painted above the smaller cave applied by finger. They are relatively well preserved and there is nothing to suggest that more pictographs once existed than those surviving today. They are fairly small but complex motifs comprised of linked horizontal and vertical lines. All utilize similar method and pigment except for three short brown/red vertical lines.
