Tomb Art Site - Mt Moffat
Carnarvon National Park
Menu
More than 400 stencilled motifs (images) decorate the walls of a sandstone shelter below the bluff of sandstone known as The Tombs. The Tombs once contained burial chambers for local Aboriginal people. Skeletons were wrapped and bound in bark burial cylinders. Sadly, by the end of the 20th century, the site had been robbed of this material, leaving little evidence of an elaborate mortuary culture. Take a close look at the rock art from a boardwalk with seats.
Getting there
Drive up to the Mt Moffat section of Carnarvon Gorge via Injune & Womblebank. A 4WD is required as rough roads in unsealed. You will notice the car park on your left with picnic area, toilets and info maps. Trails well signed.
