Mudgegonga Rock Shelter

The Mudgegonga Rock Shelter is a large rock overhang in northeastern Victoria containing over 400 Aboriginal wall paintings and stencils, representing one of the richest rock art sites in the region [1]. Archaeological evidence indicates prehistoric Aboriginal occupation dating back 3,500 years, with the site potentially used for several thousand years prior [1]. The shelter is situated near the town of Mudgegonga and is associated with rich artefact deposits [1].
