The site was gazetted on 20 November 1996. The claypan is a slightly concave surface approximately 100m across. It retains water after even light rain, thus attracting many birds and animals. The claypan and surrounding outcrops are also a significant archaeological site. The Reserve contains many prehistoric abraded and pecked engraving s that provide an outstanding example of central Australian rock art . The main feature of the area is a set of about 1000 petroglyphs , distributed among the rock outcrops to the south and south east of the claypan. Most of the petroglyphs are non representational, consisting of circles, lines and other geometric motifs, though there are some examples of animal tracks. The motifs have been compared with those found elsewhere in Central Australia and Tasmania. ref name Mountford 1960 cite journal title 192.
