Look I am doing the right thing and saying stay away from the cliffs at Bannerman Road but even the most sympathetic to the protection of these sites must admit the current law is crazy. I canbe fined for stumbling across an Aboriginal area that is not obvious to me, I have no way of checking the status of this area. So do I go ahead and risk big fines?

The point still remains - there is no solution being offered by authorities - they just wave the big stick and look to impose fines. I am not a vandal but had I had time I would have developed these areas to the determent of the Aboriginals, Climbers and my bank balance.

Crazy situation - no wonder people are running out of patience and sympathy when it comes to protecting our indigenous past.
