A brief newspaper item in Sydney, Australia, indicates that a grant from a national historical commission will be used to preserve and restore a famous hermit’s house. Part of the item says:
One of few known hermit dwellings in NSW, the historic cave, near Griffith, was home to Valerio Ricetti, who arrived in Australia from Italy in 1914, aged 16, and moved to Griffith in 1929.
The cave includes rock shelters, stone structures, gardens, a water well, stairs, kitchen, chapel, gardens, lookout and inscriptions.
