      History

      Brief description of site: The site is on a very large (20m2) clean surface protected by long narrow overhang along one side of an isolated boulder. The site has no view and looks directly into the main part of Twaluba north. The site has pleasantly shaded seating places but no shelter and is easily accessible. The rock is cracked, uneven and pink therefore the images are not easy to see but seemingly this was not a concern.
      Brief description of art: The art contains many and varied images. Including: filled circle with externally radiating lines overlain by grid. A diagonal line with lines radiating away from it both upwards and downwards. Various vertical and horizontal lines many parallel, rows of dots. Five complex 'dog bone' shaped designs with thin central portions and pairs of loops at top and bottom. Interestingly although similar, each of these designs varies in some respect. All the images applied by finger in red.
