Investigation into potential damage to Aboriginal petroglyph site

The Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania is responding to a report of potential damage to an Aboriginal petroglyph site at Sundown Point in the state’s north-west.

The change in the site was reported to the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service late Monday.

Compliance officers are investigating whether part of the petroglyph site has been dislodged by tidal movement or removed, and when this may have occurred.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Parks and Wildlife Service Compliance on 0488 184 847 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Information can also be emailed to [email protected].  Information will be treated confidentially.
