Mount Grenfell Historic Site 20 year celebration
The Mount Grenfell Board of Management celebrated the 20 year anniversary of the hand back of the Mount Grenfell Historic Site on Saturday. The historic site north west of Cobar features wonderful examples of ancient Aboriginal rock art, scarred trees, ochre pits and a waterhole, testimony to the region’s Aboriginal heritage. The site was handed back to the Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan Aboriginal owners in July 2004 and was leased back to the Minister under Part 4A of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Penny Sharpe attended along with a number of local residents and staff from National Parks and Wildlife. See article on Page 4 for more details.
