I recall seeing an article somewhere giving directions for the best of
the rock art in the Calvert Ranges. A search of this
forum & internet in general hasn't found it
Anyone know where i can find this article (or even better ... knows where
the rock art is themselves!)

Hi Drew,
We did the CSR in July-August 2004 and visited the calverton and
the rock art is out of this world, particularly the "Petroglyphs" the main galleries of the art is found in the two gorgesyou walk east along the
the gorge on the right and it is 15 min walk in and keep looking up to the right on the Siuth wall they are like huge murals on the
rock face. A membe rof our trip placed an article in the WA 4 wd drive r magazine , 55th Winter edition 2005.
The track is south of Derba past
cannings cairn turn East to Sunday
well and carry on. From the CSR it is about 31 Kms and about 30 something sand hills.
A good map is one from the Aystralian Geographic.
The rock ar is awesome most bof the walls in the gorges are adorned with art, but those petroglyphs are way out of this world 50000 years old?
Cheers,
EricM

I had a look at the '
Canning stock route' map from Australian Geographic but nothing on it about the
calvert Range. Are you referring to another map from Australian Geographic? (ie: has there been an article in Australian Geographic about the
Calvert Range?)
