The site is an overhang +50m in length, 2m in depth, and 2m+ in height. The sandstone is very weathered and any rock art that did occur has now eroded. There is a deposit in the cave; however, it has been eroded through water action. The stone tools are standard LSA tools and include single and doublesided adze on MSA flake, utilised flakes, single platform core, irregular core, chips and chunks. The stone tools are made from dolerite and CCS.

Directions:
WAA032 is situated at the base of the third (or top) tier of sandstone cliffs.
