Comments
There are at least 110 individual petroglyphs at this site. They occur on both sides of the bay at the south end Most of the figures are small faces of Wilgiapshi Island. Most of the carvings are on bedrock, an outcrop of dark grey schist. There are also several figures on detached slabs of schist that are now lying on the beach.
