Lie Baai
Lie Baai is a protected area at a height of 360 m , on an overhang in East Timor . It lies on the high plateau of the Baucau administrative office ( municipality of Baucau ). There are several rock paintings on the wall of the extensive overhang of a coral terrace .
The protected area is 70 meters long, reaches 25 meters below the rock and is up to 20 meters high. It is regularly used by families who tend their nearby gardens. At the eastern end there is a small hunt made of coconut fronds and a fence made of stones and undergrowth. Pottery shards and sea shells are scattered around the deposit. During the Indonesian occupation (1975–1999), locals used charcoal to draw on the wall at the western end. There are also several thousand year old red and black rock paintings covered in carbonate deposits.
