"The AMAZING
Indaba"
Gympie 5th June 2005
As usual, click a pic for a larger image... |
OK, for those of you who didn't go....
The June Indaba was held at the Gympie Pyramid!!!
We tried to meet at the rotunda by the Mining Museum, but unfortunately our timing clashed
with a gathering of bikies for their annual "Poker Run". After the
roar of hundreds of Harleys, Triumphs, Yamahas, and others died down, we eventually
"saddled up" for our own convoy, and made our way to our destination.

Form a circle.... |
As everyone arrived they were amazed.....
We formed a large circle for morning tea, and Brett told the amazing story of how a
"Private Investor" had purchased the property with the aim of ongoing research
and the hopeful discovery of some answers as to who built this mysterious place and why.
Mick continued with some ideas on how the research should proceed, before we broke from
the circle and "headed for the hill."

The "Hill" |
Mick gave a short tour, pointing out some remaining rock
walls, and issuing warnings about the prickly pear.... Most then wandered about,
looking, feeling, and simply enjoying the fact that they were actually standing on this
fabled site. Some got to work right away, clearing the vines from some interesting
rocks...

Over lunch, volunteer lists were made for working bees, and
many ideas were exchanged. Quite a few members revealed skills that will come in handy
over the course of the project. Everyone was ecstatic. Plans were made to get the
work underway.
Gradually we filtered away, all carrying the hope that we will discover the truth about
this amazing place......

Is that a symbol on
that rock? |
Stay tuned.....
