What happened to the Marree Man

So do you also think that aboriginal art is graffiti or vandalism as well, just much older though. To me, provided it isn't damaging anything there prior to it then it's just as valid.

Good question Phil.


Their cultural significance lifts aboriginal art way beyond graffiti.

a kid with a spray can tagging a train or a wall is vandalism.

The rest probably falls somewhere in between.


Marree man was clever, no doubt about that. But I guess I am happy that it appears it caused no lasting damage to a sensitive environment .

Cheers

In another 20, 000 years todays graffiti taging, modern public art etc will likely be seen in much the same way and will be studied just the same. Do we have the right to destroy it and deny future generations the chance to appreciate it just because someone now doesn't like it? Too much has already been lost in past generations because someone didn't think it worth preserving.

Heard the same thing in April this from the publican at the Marree Pub
