Motifs include a large whale, emus, birds, goannas, fish, a boomerang, jelly fish?, shields, anthropomorphs including a large Daramulan-like ancestral figure, wallabies, eels, several unfinished or weathered motifs and the use of natural rock weathering features to highlight what might be one or two long snake-like motifs.
