Art Cave at Mt Grenfell

Just thought I'd show the cave system that contains the Aboriginal art from yesterdays collage of artwork. As you can see, there is no access to the caves, there is caging all the way along the cave front to help potect & preserve the ancient artwork.

There were little holes and flap doors randomly along the cage wall, at various heights for taking photos (barely any at eye level)....but they were mostly in very awkward positions, having to squat, kneel and even lay on the ground, like a contorsionist doing yoga, to attempt to get a shot. A lot of my shots were terrible, as you also had to take your shot one handed, as you had to hold the flap door open with the other hand, so it was a little bit tricky to try to get some decent shots of this amazing artwork.
It sounds like they really don’t want you taking photos, well done to you for persevering

You certainly got to some out of the way places Leggzy. Everytime you post something, I have to go to Google Maps to see where you are

nice - yet its a shame you can't get close

Hello again, didn't realize you were back on 365. Good to see you posting again and thanks for the follow.

So interesting and very well protected, you did a good job!!

I can understand the need to preserve the artwork but what a shame you can't get a bit nearer for photographs

You have to work for a good photo! 😊

@terryliv hope you're enjoying the aussie geography lesson 😂

@leggzy Yeah. Loving it. I pride myself on my knowledge of Australian Geography and to a lesser extent world geography but this one and the Gundabooka Nat Park got me

Thanks for sharing this shot with us. It helps to understand what the site is like. I wish I had been there with you. I would have been happy to hold the flap door open for you, so that you might have been able to hold your camera with both hands.

Great that the art is protected and keeeping saved for the future.

Context is everything. Thanks for posting this shot. It sounds like you got a good work out, too!

Again, as with so many of your photos, there are stories in this one. One is a sad one, about vandalism and lack of respect for such sites, making it difficult to access for everyone else.
