Glad I posted the info before I tried to develop the area as I was unaware of any Aboriginal significance. Thanks for the heads up - I will stick to the other great areas around the hills.

I would recommend everyone stays away from the area, the last thing we want is to upset land managers as they may then try to close the current climbing areas.

It is good that people are trying to preserve these areas but when they are so close suburbia it is only a matter of time before these areas are discovered (and rediscovered) and human impact occurs. There needs to be some way climbers can check the status of areas before developing a crag - not easy to do the when secrecy is the policy land managers use to 'protect' an area.
