Report on the Gilroys Central Australian Research Expedition.By Rex Gilroy.

On the night of Saturday 12th August the Gilroys returned from one of theirmost successful extensive field investigations in their 33 years of marriage. Thissearch which took us as far north as the Devils Marbles, resulted in the gatheringof over 60 rock inscriptions, five fossil hominid skulls, a large number of primitivepre-Aboriginal stone tools, the endocast of a hominid footprint, bags ofgemstones and other goodies for which we are still trying to find space for!

There are around 400 or more photographs and slides to be developed andwe shot seemingly acres of video footage of all our adventures.

I took with us a collection of essential exercise books of subjects such aspre-Cook Australian Exploration; pre-Aboriginal Stone-Age races; Giants;Pygmies; Unknown Animals etc and would almost fill some of them with newinformation by the time our search was over! All this material will be used inforthcoming books to be produced by the Gilroys, as well as provide plenty ofsubject matter for future Club Newsletters.

We stayed a Wycliffe Well, the UFO Capital of Australia where one nightwe were able to capture two or three UFOs on video. Soon after this I uncovereda major URU megalithic site containing several circular and other templeastronomical structures.

The amount of video footage is such that we will have to serialise it. Itincludes our visit to Ayers Rock and the Olgas. I climbed The Rock onWednesday 26th July a gruelling experience which seemed to have been easierfor me seven years ago [1999], but I was determined not to let The Rock beatme, returning to the base in time for Heather and I to watch the sunset on AyersRock. We filmed the sunset on the Olgas on Friday 28th July after a day spent

exploring the surroundings.As soon as photos are available I will be producing a report on detail

concerning the various aspects of our searches; that is, the archaeological,anthropological, cryptozoological, UFOlogical etc investigations made by us.

In the course of our trip north I carried out final corrections to the proofcopy of our forth coming book Out of the Dreamtime The Search forAustralasias Unknown animals. As I write we plan to add eight more photosfrom the trip which we feel are essential to the text, and after Heather completes

the corrections its off to the printers next week. This book contains over 700photos and close on 3,500 reports on 600 pages of text, and has been completedin time to celebrate my 50 years as the father of Australian Cryptozoology andYowie research [ie relict hominology].

What with Uru The Lost Civilisation of Australia still selling well thishuge book on Cryptozoology is expected to be in big demand also, particularlyfrom researchers worldwide. Two more Yowie books will be following it and alsoour second UFO book.

*****One aspect of our investigations turned up a lot of new material on such

mysteries as the giant reptilian monster, Burrunjor of Central Australian

Aboriginal folklore; the extinct giant monitor lizard, Megalania prisca; the giantdingo, Thylacine and panther sightings and of course relict hominids. Also AliceSprings UFOlogist Keith Douglass filled us in on local UFO happenings and wemanaged to have a Skywatch with him before we moved on elsewhere.

The archaeological side of our search was extremely productive, as thefollowing will show.

Bronze Age Explorers.- As everyone knows, I argue that the ancientMiddle and Near-Eastern mineral-seeking colonists of Bronze Age times [2000-1400BC] not only discovered our shores, but penetrated deep inland alongcoastal river systems, some of which have vanished long ago. They also used theformer inland sea from the Gulf of Carpentaria to reach Central Australia, wherethey found gold and copper as well as gemstones.

This led to the establishment of settlements which grew into massivecolonies containing eventually thousands of people, requiring the setting up oflocal ruling classes; that is local Pharaohs who ruled over kingdoms of largeextent, and which eventually cut themselves off from the Egyptian homeland toestablish an Australian Egypto-Phoenician empire that would grow to include theMelanesian islands New Zealand. This is the subject of our book Pyramids ofDestiny Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age god-Kings due out in early2007.

Discoveries made by us on this trip have confirmed to our satisfaction that,not only did the ancient mariners penetrate the Murray-Darling rivers system, toenter and follow the Macquarie, Namoi-Peel and Gwydir Rivers to rich mineral-bearing areas in New England and the Central West; they also followed navigableoffshoot creek systems from these inland rivers, which led them into the NewSouth Wales far west.

In South Australia they found Spencers Gulf, from where they eventuallyfound the Flinders Ranges mineral sites with the aid of camels, while otherexpeditions moved northwards to find the Coober Pedy opal-bearing region.These movements can be traced by the number of rock scripts we found in theseareas. Similarly other expeditions ventured south from Arnhem Land via camel

while others arrived within reach of Ayers Rock and the Olgas via the inland sea.From here camel explorations uncovered more mineral and gemstone-bearingareas. Supporting this theory we have uncovered Phoenician and Egypto-Libyanrock inscriptions around Ayers Rock and the Olgas.

At one area east of Ayers Rock Heather and I uncovered the bulldozed

remnants of a former megalithic temple, huge basalt rocks piled up in the courseof the construction of a dirt road. The majority of these huge squarish blocks andslabs bore Egyptian, Phoenician, Libyan and some Celtic scripts [which couldplace the temple at around 1700BC]. One relic was left standing where it hadoriginally been placed, a massive stellae bearing the Phoenician inscription inmostly large letters:

On this flat land of the Serpent-Sun whose mouth breaths life. All gather

here beforethis tone. To all people, on this Temple ground the Son of Light has come.Baal the Sun who lights the land with his light. For Baal all gather to

celebrate Beltaine*the Festival of Baal the Sun. Gather for Beltaine. Benevolent is Baal, Baal

is benevolent.[*May Day, 1stMay].

This ruin revealed ship carvings and also the names of former rulers notspoken for 3,000 or more years. I often get an eerie feeling as I recite suchnames for the first time since they were inscribed 3,000-4,000 or more years in

the past!In the Alice springs district we uncovered what we believe may be the

ruined remains of a sphinx up to 1,500ft [500m] long by 500ft [120m] tall byabout 500ft [120m] width. It rests in bushland within sight of five pyramidalmounds, all rising from 170 to 200ft high. Around the base of one of these Iuncovered the ruins of up to 100 ancient stone huts an ancient mining village itwould appear, for open-cut mining evidence of great age exists nearby, a hugequartz reef passes through this area, rich in gold I learnt from a local. Wherethese remains actually exist we are keeping secret to avoid treasure-huntingvandals. By the time of our next meeting I should be able to present a slide showof these relics and all the other marvellous things we turned up.

A number of Phoenician rock slab inscriptions were recovered from theWoomera district. These, like many others found by us between western NewSouth Wales to the Red Centre, speak not only of deities such as Baal and Ra,but the daily lives of men and women from the lands of the Nile and Caanan whosettled Australia, 3,000-4,000 years before the arrival of the Dutch explorers orJames Cook. As I always say, our history is far older than most Australiansrealise!

Aboriginal Rock Art.Another aspect of our trip was the filming of

ancient rock art sites for a future book on the pre-Aboriginal Stone-Age history ofAustralia. We photographed rock paintings as Ayers Rock and later at Mt Grenfellwest of Cobar New South Wales on the way home.

At Ewaninga Aboriginal rock art reserve near Alice Springs wephotographed some really spectacular rock engravings. Among these was theneck and head depiction of a giant emu-like bird, believed to be one of theGenyornis species. These birds existed from the Miocene through the Pliocene

periods, and on into Pleistocene times, dying out as recently as around 6,000years ago.

Another feathered giant was the 3m tall Dromornis stirtoni, and we filmeda cast skeleton of this species in the Museum of Central Australia in AliceSprings, where there is an emu skeleton for size comparison. This species is

though to have become extinct around 26,000 years ago. They would certainlyhave been known to the Aborigines.

*****There was one mysterious rock engraving found in of all places, the ruined

megalithic temple previously mentioned. The image was part of an inscription inBronze-Age Phoenician script which read: The place where Yalata lives. Theimage could be said to resemble a bipedal reptile with pointed tail, twooutstretched arms and a large head with open mouth,. The point is that Yalata

is the local Aboriginal name for a mysterious bipedal reptilian giant knownelsewhere in their folklore as Burrunjor! It would appear that the Phoenicians hadbecome aware of this reptilian monsters presence in Central Australia.

I was fortunate to obtain information about Burrunjor, known by the nameKurpanya to the tribespeople of the Alice Springs district.

While on top of Ayers Rock I met two young men who worked in the AyersRock area, one being a tourist flight pilot, the other had a job at the resort. Talkturned to the existence of a race of pygmy folk who Aborigines call the Yar-Yarrs,and believe they still inhabit the surrounding country, particularly in the Mt Olgaregion, I found out that giant monitor lizards have been claimed seen hereaboutsover the years, and also Thylacines! Even the hairy man is known hereabouts

under more than one name. Then I mentioned Burrunjor and was told a couple ofstories. These monsters, I was informed, are said by Aborigines to inhabit themesa country between northern South Australia and the Gulf Country, and themere mention of the name to an Aboriginal is enough to send them into a stateof panic! The Burrunjor/Kurpanya beasts are claimed to emerge from their lairsway back in the hills to wander the land in search of prey animal or human particularly at night, and I have many interesting stories which will be found inour new book Out of the Dreamtime The Search for Australasias UnknownAnimals when we publish it soon [we expect to have it ready for sale at theBrisbane UFO Conference].

UFOs over the Red Centre.While staying at Curtin Springs on the road to Ayers Rock, I went Skywatching at

12.07am Thursday 27th July. The flat countryside gave me a beautiful clear view of theheavens, with the Milky Way stretched across the sky from horizon to horizon. It was infact at 12.07am that I spotted a silvery object heading east to west in a wavy pattern.

Then, at 12.13am two silvery glowing objects suddenly shot side by side across the skyfrom north to south.

Earlier, on Tuesday night 25th July, while we were driving back from the Olgaswithin view of Ayers Rock, I spotted a red-yellow glowing craft approaching from thewest at 6.30pm. At first travelling at great speed, it slowed down high over the resortarea almost to a stop, then flew over Ayers Rock heading eastwards, picking up speedas it did so. Later, on Thursday night 27th July, Heather spotted the same two silveryobjects described above, while as we drove towards Erldunda along the LasseterHighway. They just shot across the sky from east to west, she said.

Sunday night 30th

July found us in Alice Springs meeting local UFOlogist Keith Douglass,with whom we had a Skywatch but saw nothing. We reached Wycliffe Well on Tuesday1st August. Outside the caravan park Heather and I did some Skywatching with the videocamera at the ready. Heather decided to return to our cabin as there was nothingaround up there. Later that evening, or rather at 1.32am Wednesday, while scanningthe sky with my binoculars, I spotted two silvery objects moving east to west side byside across the sky. Aiming the video camera I got them on tape [my first night footageever!]. Soon afterwards, a single silvery object appeared making erratic movementsfrom west to north.

Then an object shot overhead high in the sky to vanish upwards into the heavens.This craft flew over the area where I was standing, at 1.42am. Just after this sighting Ispotted another bright object making erratic movements from west to east over Wycliffe

Well.At 10.40pm on Wednesday night 2nd August I Skywatched again, alone outside

the caravan park as before. At about 10.45pm I spotted, moving above cloud level, fromsouth to north and to the east of where I stood on the side of the highway, an objectflashing gold and red lights as it flew at immense speed across the sky to quickly vanishover the north horizon. There were no more UFO sightings after we left Wycliffe Well.

We drove on to the Devils Marbles before turning south for home. This has beenmerely an edited rundown of our adventures and more will be revealed in forthcomingBlue Mountains UFO Research Club Newsletters.

At 5pm Thursday 17th August I arrive at the Katoomba Falls Lookout withCuddles while taking her for her afternoon walk. Looking out over the Jamieson Valleyand beyond Ruined Castle rock formation, in the Burragorang Valley just to the east ofthe underground Base, I spotted a silver saucer-shaped craft with a black underside,moving swiftly from behind Mt Solitary to vanish behind Narrow Neck Plateau. The timewas 5.07pm. Then at 5.08pm a second saucer of the same silver and black colourationshot up from behind the west side of Ruined Castle to quickly disappear over the farend of the Neck to the west.

Next Issue:More surprises, and of course your valuable reports.

Our previous meeting was a huge success and we lookforward to seeing another big roll-up at our next one. There

should be some good Skywatches ahead of us up here at

Katoomba, weather permitting.Meanwhile, theres a lot happening up there at presentso,

until our next meeting -Watch the Skies!

Rex and Heather.
