A rich rock-art site in a range of hills near Broken Hill, western New South Wales, Australia. Human and animal figures in the Panaramitee style were pecked prolifically on rock surfaces. Human figures are represented frontally as stick men, or more fully rounded and carrying barbed spears and boomerangs. Other motifs include emus and eggs, kangaroos, sets of animal and human tracks, and radiating lines. Most of the figures are less than 60 cm in size, but a large pecked kangaroo is 1.8 metres in maximum dimension.
