Remedial rock works at Gosford Glyphs cause hysteria

The National Parks and Wildlife Service undertook works at the glyphs site this summer as geologists had noticed one of the overhanging rocks was moving and could possibly fall into the crevice where people could be standing.
A large boulder that was holding on by a thread was removed slowly while not damaging the carvings.
Some people were convinced that the council was destroying the glyphs and the internet forums went into melt down with wild rumors and the expected conspiracy BS
Some humble pies were eaten when the site was inspected soon after and no damage could be seen apart from the large boulder gone and the crevice floor leveled out and made a bit nicer to walk on for the not so hardy

The overhanging rock that was threatening to drop onto visitors NPWS have a duty of care to ensure this cannot happen

The sign was posted for months at the site advising of oncoming works
