A cave with drawings that could be thousands of years old, has been found in one of Australia's busiest waterways.
The cave was discovered by an Airlie Beach local and is on an island in the Whitsunday Passage. The local stumbled on to the cave a couple of days ago and immediately recognized the significance of his discovery. After taking a few photos, he left the cave undisturbed.
Local Elders and personnel from National Parks will be inspecting the site next Tuesday.
Out of respect for our traditional owners, we will not be disclosing the location, or releasing the photos, until we get the OK from the Elders.
ed: Goes to show you that the Whitsundays has still a lot of places where no 'European' has gone before.
