potential new bouldering area in NW sydney 21-May-2009 At 12:02:50 PM rocksinmyhead

hi all, i've got a few questions.

climberman, what is an "exposure bill"? Is it actual law or some kind of draft legeslation? I hate to think that if I went bushbashing and accidently trod on a midden I didn't know was there i could be prosecuted.

I like the idea that I may "discover" cave paintings or middens while sussing out new crags. It's what's exploration is about, and a moment to remember. I'd move on (hopefully to find a better crag!) and after, I'd like to be able report it to the relevant authorities for registration and protection. Afterall, it's irreplaceable and so much has been destroyed already.

However I don't agree with blanket bans on areas. I 'd like to protect what needs protecting, and leave the rest of an area for recreation, but I'd be afraid that if I reported a site, the response could be heavy handed and close down nearby areas. Would anyone be happy if they banned bouldering at the Frontline because they found cave paintings at the Swampland or the Sewer? Has anyone had any experience with this?

Does anyone have any examples of what I should be looking out for? I've found hand stencils before but I am less sure of middens or practically anything else.

Lastly, does anyone know of bouldering crag around Bannerman Rd that does NOT have aboriginal artefacts? I'd just like to go climbing close to home if possible. PM me if you feel necessary

cheers
