LOL, I dont know what they are, I would love to know the proper geographic reason. They could even be old mining mounds, who knows. But I think this is what the guy in your article was trying to look for.

He should have just come to ATS instead of having to troll through the arse end of Ispwich.

Would be a romantic picnic with your hubby! Climb to the top and take pics along the way...
You might even see the dudes hubcaps on the side of the road, could make a fun craft project...lol.

Great research I would go for you But I have an aversion to REAL snakes lol and I reckon there would be heeps in that dense shrub. To make a comparison of time frames between those pyramids and underwater ruins found in India and the Pacific and the theorized arrival of Aborigines - I just wanted to post a little information I have collected -

Pollen and charcoal analyses of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 820 on the continental slope, about 60 to 80 km off the northeastern Queensland coast, provide a continuous record of vegetation through the last 1.5m.y. that complements and extends Quaternary records from the adjacent mainland. Through most of the record, the gross composition of the vegetation, indicated by pollen of drier and wetter rainforests, open sclerophyll vegetation, freshwater swamps and mangroves, changed little although fluctuations did occur that may relate to cyclical changes in climate and sea level. In addition, a reduction in temperatures within the middle Pleistocene might have caused a change in mangrove composition and an increase in higher-altitude taxa, particularly ferns. Evidence exists for the disappearance or reduction in range of a number of gymnosperms throughout the record. Earlier disappearances were probably caused by increased climatic variability and correspond with those elsewhere in Australia. The replacement of araucarian drier forest by open sclerophyll vegetation and the extinction of a species of Dacrydium may relate to an increase in burning caused by the activities of Aboriginal people. The initiation of this change is dated between -150 and 100 k.y. ago, well before the date for a similar change in terrestrial records from the region. However, the date is in line with that from Lake George in southeastern Australia and adds substantially to the evidence of a very early time of arrival of Aborigines and for their impact on the Australian landscape. It is possible that, in this relatively moist region, we are witnessing the latter part of a process of replacement of fire-sensitive forests by fire-promoting sclerophylls that has been operating on the Australian continent since the middle Tertiary, in response to increasingly drier and more variable climatic conditions (Kershaw et al., 1992). At this site, the replacement of rainforest by more open vegetation had occurred much earlier, -2.7 Ma (Kershaw, D'Costa, et al., 1991; McEwen Mason, 1991) and the later change was in the nature of sclerophyll vegetation. It was considered to have resulted from increased burning pressure by Aboriginal people, despite the lack of archaeological evidence for such an early presence of people.

Well I found those dates quite staggering.

Lake George, the fifth oldest lake in the world is a place of great mystery and intrigue. It has been known to disappear and reappear virtually overnight. As long as people can remember, the lake has been shrouded in unusual events, and many people have personal memories of weird, inexplicable happenings. Theories as to why the lake empties so quickly? Some say it's because it's a volcanic crater and water drains off into fissures in the earth every time we have a tremor… some say it's connected limestone caves… others say it's connected to lakes in Peru and South Africa. It has now been well over 8 years since there has been any significant quantity of water in the lake; not since the terrible droughts of the early 1940s can anyone recall such desiccation of the lake bed. The lake has been totally dry in 1837, 1870, 1902, most of the1930s and the early1980s. It has been completely full in 1852, 1897, 1925, the 1950s and the mid-1980s. There is no pattern to this strange phenomenon

.

Many strange reports of paranormal/ unusual occurrences and happenings have been reported over the years. It is one of the most active UFO sighting areas in the world ?? According to local Aboriginals it is/ was an area that contained a secret womens place and that it does have mythical/ cultural significance to Indigenous people. Weereewa, the area of land Lake George is located in, translates to "Bad Waters". Many drownings have occurred, and the highway next to the lake is historically associated with mysterious and often fatal car accidents. Two scientists doing studies on the lake mysteriously disappeared in the 70’s - a small plane crashed but after extensive sweeps of the lake the bodies were never retrieved. A windsurfer recently drowned when he was swept underwater and hundreds of people have seen various apparitions.

Some stories that have been collected about the lake

“In 1956 some cadets from Duntroon, who then used to sail on Lake George as it was well filled with water, ventured out on the lake in the middle of winter – itself an unusual thing to do. Some of the boys launched a yacht in the freezing water and three of them ended up drowning. Afterwards, despite the levels of water in the lake being low, it took authorities several months to find two of the bodies.

At 25 km long and 10 km wide, Lake George is long, largely flat and extremely shallow, with a very small catchment. Resultant evaporation rates as well as a tendency for strong winds to blow the water back on itself explain the mysterious filling and drying episodes on both short term (hours) and long term (years) time scales that have been observed.

The lake's depth when full can range from 1.5 to 4.5 metres; however in many areas it is only around 0.8–1.0 metre deep. Its deepest point has been measured as 7.5 metres. When full, the lake holds about 500 million cubic metres of water

“Duffy resident Arthur Smith told me another lake story. He is in his eighties now, but in the 1970s he and a friend heard that big redfin perch were to be caught in the lake and set off to catch them. When they arrived the sky was blue, there was no wind and the weather forecast was for settled conditions. “But no sooner had they launched their little boat than the sky began to cloud over, the wind rose, torrential rain appeared as if from nowhere and Arthur admitted to being frightened. He lived through the 2003 bushfires in Duffy and told me his experience on the lake was far worse. “The lake was suddenly filled with menace, the boat began to spin round and round, big waves appeared and seemed to be trying to grab them. The two men managed to get back to shore but no sooner had they dragged their boat onto dry land than the storm suddenly dissipated and the lake looked calm, blue and inviting again.

It is said every local in the area knows the stories about this lake !!

One story mentioned how an uncle (who was not one to fool around)
"Swears black and blue he watched a UFO float around for a good three quarters of an hour one night. Even called CSIRO to report it and was told by the astro-nerd on the other end of the phone that there are many sighting reported there (as justbands conspiracy books will tell you)."

hmmm. keys, doves (peace and olive branch), snake, snake blood, grail, ...
The third one brings the image of fighting the snake for peace, or backwards peace, then snake, then fighting..... Interesting images together anyway.

In AUSTRALIA, the energy grid is called - "Path of the Rainbow Serpent". In CHINA it is called "The Dragon Paths" and in ENGLAND - "Ley Lines".


(Aboriginal Shaman)

"If you don't OBEY the LAWS of NATURE and have RESPECT for the ENERGIES of the EARTH'S AURA, you will be DESTROYED by your lack of knowledge."

A WEB OF SONG-LINES
FOR AN ABORIGINAL OLD MAN
Extract Despatch Vol. 6:3 p.26

The mystical GRID is as ancient as the generations of Noah. Is it any wonder that the Aboriginal tribes of Australia, said to have been here for ten thousand years, have knowledge of it?
An article sent by a subscriber in Townsville, dated August 6th, 1994, from the `Townsville Bulletin', was of considerable interest. The article tells of the Aboriginals making a web of song-lines across Australia. This helps to draw the country together, says the article by Tony Vermeer.
QUOTE:
“...a mystical, spiritual thing which is part hymn, part map, part history book by singing songs in sequence, Aboriginal people are able to map out their country in their minds Dealing with the special relationship Aboriginals have with the land,
Vermeer reports the forming of the ancient earth grid through ritual song. A mystical mapping process, as old and primitive as the red-heart of our sunburnt country itself!
The article goes on to say that an old Mann, Patrick Dodson, a native of the outback desert country, has a spiritual song-line which, if~ avowed in geographical terms, zig-zagged its way from the desert to the coast. But each song-line is more of a spiritual journey than anything else
Pat Dodson is the chairman of the Reconciliation Council. The aim of this council is to~ “promote better understanding between Australia's indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
He, and others of the Aborigines in this land, know of these song-lines, these leylines, because the knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation, for countless centuries.
THE ARTICLE STATED...
“Across Australia, the lines connect to form a complex and interwoven web of stories. Certain places, such as Uluru (Ayers Rock), are common to a number of song-lines, making them sacred
No, the “sacred sites of the Aborigines are NOT just imagined, they are part of the earth grid, and these people are well aware of the “spirits” of this land bringing the Rainbow Serpent Paths together!

The native Indians of the United States, used to call ley lines - spirit lines - and their shamans used to use the electromagnetic energy in these lines to help him contact the spirits. They even designed their medicine wheel on the spirit lines, as they knew that these lines followed a straight / round line. How did they know about these lines and the energies that they give off? The answer is simple. The sky Gods told them.
