A short walk along a gum-lined creek leads to the site where ancient Aboriginal
rock engravings are found in smooth
sandstone walls. Wander through
the gorge to view the images representing animal tracks, people and waterholes, have been pecked into the sheer
rock faces with stone tools. Some images are very weathered and are best seen in the soft light of morning or afternoon.
Above the waterfall near the end of
the gorge are some more engravings.
Keep a watch out for echidnas foraging in the creek bed at the other end of
the gorge.
The walk is accessible by 2WD along a 15km gravel road, located 19 kilometres south-east of Wilpena off the
Hawker to
Blinman Road. There are
toilets in the
carpark.
Out of respect for the Adnyamathanha culture please do not touch the engravings.
