Mudgegonga rock shelter, Rock shelter and archaeological site in Victoria, Australia
The Mudgegonga rock shelter features a large natural overhang containing hundreds of Aboriginal wall paintings and stencils on its stone surface.
Archaeological investigations conducted by La Trobe University in the 1980s revealed quartz materials indicating human occupation dating back 3,500 years.
The rock shelter houses over 400 Aboriginal artworks created with ochre and pipeclay, including the only discovered painting of a potoroo in Victoria.
Visitors need authorization from local authorities to access the site, as preservation measures regulate entry to maintain archaeological integrity.
The extensive collection of Aboriginal wall art at this location makes it one of the most substantial rock art repositories in Victoria.
