Brief description of site: An overhung rock-face towards the southern end of the east side of Bunda Hill. The ground drops away sharply in front of the rock-face, only a small area of flat ground exists against the wall and this is scattered with low boulders. The shelter provided can thus not be exploited for much more than shaded seating. The view east from the site is impressive.
Brief description of art: The main area of pictographs is well protected and preserved. There may originally have been more motifs, now washed off, to the left and right though there is little to indicate this. The oldest design at the site is a fine line animal depiction executed using violet pigment. This is overlain by various sets of lines and joined lines, applied by finger in red. Surrounding these, and probably therefore later, are a few sets of parallel finger width lines made in white.
