New Guinea II cave

The limestone cave extends underground with a rock shelter entrance containing large boulders and features a permanent stream flowing through its main chamber.

Archaeological excavations from the 1980s revealed stone artifacts and evidence of human occupation dating back approximately 20,000 years before present.

The cave belongs to the traditional land of the Krowathunkooloong clan within the Gunaikurnai nation and contains Aboriginal finger marks on its walls.

The cave requires steep descent through a narrow entrance to access the main chamber, which contains multiple entrances and elevated ceilings.

The cave walls display Aboriginal markings forming regular patterns including circles and diagonal crosses, making it the first Victorian site with such prehistoric designs.
