Over two thousand engravings, ochre stencils and freehand paintings adorn the 62m-long sandstone walls of this significant Aboriginal site. The Art Gallery contains one of the best examples of stencil art in Australia.
Another hot day in the gorge so an early start to walk up to the Art Gallery then do the side tracks to Ward’s Canyon, the Amphitheatre and Moss Garden on the way back. Every one of those side tracks offers something special. In hindsight it might have been better to do the side tracks on the western side early on a hot day before the sun gets too high.
This was a fantastic walk. I tried to walk to Big Bend but I had trouble finding the path so I didn't push through. The path is quite clear up until this part of the gorge so it's easy to follow and not difficult physically. It was very hot and sunny which was the exhausting part. Take plenty of water unless you have a filtration straw/system and then you could take straight from the river as needed. There are 5 river crossings and some loose rocks so good footwear is better.
The Art Gallery was gorgeous. The stencilings and engravings look so fresh even though they are thousands of years old! There are information boards so you understand the messages being conveyed. On the way back I stopped in all the other sections. It was well worth the 10hr drive to see this place.
Navigation to some bushwalks can be difficult. Automated navigation using Google Maps or Apple Maps may not be accurate.
Additionally, Aussie Bushwalking doesn't always have accurate positions for where to park for a walk.
Please read the walk description for special directions and take extra care.
