What to expect

Manja (pronounced Manya), has some of the best examples of hand stencils in Victoria. A total of 90 stencils have been recorded in these two shelters.

Manja is located in an impressive sandstone outcrop. Have a walk around and try to imagine what it would have been like to live here before Europeans arrived.
