This monograph is the 4th in a series by the author on Tasmanian Aboriginal rock art sites. This publication traces the history of the site from 1828 to the present using both published references, the results of expeditions and personal records on this site, the land hand-back of an area that included the petroglyph (rock art) site to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as an Indigenous Protected Area, and the planned hand-back to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community of the petroglyphs taken from the site by museums. Featured in this landscape edition are many photos in colour from the author's collection and from institutional records that illustrate the site considered of national significance prior to it being covered with sand/vegetation as a conservation measure.
