mount grenfell historic site印象

Its a shame we need to fence things off so much to stop individuals wrecking what we should all be keeping!

This fantastic site is a little way off the main highway on a fairly rough dirt road but it is well worth the visit. The site is just beautiful and extremely well maintained. The walk from the car park to the 4 rock art sites is easy and very picturesque. The aboriginal art is amazing and very well preserved, easily the best we have ever seen.

What a wonderful place to visit and have the chance to get up close to inspect and reflect on truly magnificent examples of ancient indigenous works of art. I was introduced to this amazing site 30 years ago and it was wonderful to come back after all this time and find nothing has changed. It was truly a wonderful experience to be able to immerse yourself in the magic of the area. Interestingly, we had a goanna leading around the various caves and this really heightened the experience.Visiting Mt Grenfell well worth the detour off the highway and a must for everyone. Remember to bring sturdy walking shoes, water and insect repellant with you.I am yet to find another site where people are allowed to be so close and experience the beauty and magic.

When you arrive at the car park it is a 500 metre walk to the start of the walk. The walk takes about an hour to complete and is on uneven ground. The rock art was nice to see but I really don't think it is worth the 140 kilometre round trip from Cobar to see it.

Magical ancient cave paintings, beautiful birds & animals plus breathtaking walks. A must visit for the nature and indigenous art lover

I visited Mount Grenfell interested to see the aboriginal rock art in the site. There is a set of rock overhangs with good art visible, but it is not in the league of places in Kakadu and Carnarvon Gorge. It is disappointing (but understandable) that it has to be protected by cages. The reason to go for me is the Ngiyampaa walk. In places this was quite challenging to follow, but the view from the top was really great. [tip: when you get to the rock lookout in my photo, you need to re-trace back into the bush a bit to pick up the trail to the right]. We really enjoyed this walk and it gave me a real appreciation for the outback bush landscape in this part of the world. It is awesome that the traditional aboriginal custodians of this land were able to live and flourish here.Also of note:* It is a reasonably long dirt road drive from the Highway, but the road was in very good condition.* There is a picnic site at the car park, and a short walk from there a fresh water tank was available.* The picnic site has pit toilets - these were clean and well maintained.

Amazingly well preserved Aboriginal cave paintings, and what looks like a great walking track. By the time my partner and I got to the site (10am) it was already too hot to do the 5K walking track. But we would love to go back in a cooler month to do it. There is a visitors book along the trail, which shows how many people make the trip out there which did surprise me.Make sure you take proper walking shoes - if you are just going to the art, it isn't far to walk but the ground is uneven.

The Mt Grenfell Historic Site was a great spontaneous detour our way through to Broken Hill.The road was quite well maintained and we made it out fine in our station wagon. The site itself has BBQs, toilets and some undercover seating. The walk to the first few rock paintings is about 700m from the car park.The paintings really are cool, to stop and think how long they have existed for and just how isolated that part of the country was back in the day. Quite surreal.Bring your walking shoes and some water. It is well worth the trip.

Really glad l made the effort to travel out to Mt Grenfell. Really well set out picnic area with bbqs and toilets. Very neat and clean. The short walk to the rock art was well marked though a couple more interpretation signs would be of benefit. Wonderful to see. Well done to those managing the site.

Approximately 1hr drive from Cobar on the Willcania Rd, well sign posted, when you exit the main sealed road it becomes dirt which would be impassible during heavy rain. The parking area has pit toilets and picnic tables and a BBQ. After a short walk you will see the rock art that is caged in for obvious reasons. Peep holes have been made big enough to get a DSLR lens through to get a photo of the art. A dry creek bed is near by great for photos also. Remember to take plenty of drinking water ESP in summer. The rock art is much newer than other sites in NSW but is till worth a visit.
