In NSW any item over 50 years old may be considered an historic item and may have protection under the Heritage Act 1977...

------------------------

"relic"means any deposit, object or material evidence:
(a) which relates to the settlement of the area that comprises New South Wales, not being Aboriginal settlement, and
(b) which is 50 or more years old.

"item"means a place, building, work, relic, moveable object or precinct.

"harm"means:
(a) in relation to a building or work—demolish, or
(b) in relation to a relic or moveable object—damage, despoil, move or alter, or
(c) in relation to a place or precinct—damage, despoil or develop the land that comprises the place or is within the precinct or damage or destroy any tree or other vegetation on, or remove any tree or other vegetation from, the place or precinct.

----------------------------

'Relates' can be very broad. Recreation is a valid theme in assessing historical values.

Then again, how much 50 year old climbers mank is about ? Very little I'd suppose. And Vic has quite different Heritage legislation I think, although it may have recently had a revamp. Anyway, food for though. Or not.
