Dano really enjoyed our bush bashing. He plans to migrate out here in 2 years time, and when he does he will become a valued member of the Gilroy field research team. I made a copy of the cast for him, which Genevieve and John will look after until his return. Our find showed that a small group of these hominids is currently inhabiting the region. I intend to carry out further searches for more footprints in this area soon, in the hope of turning up more tracks for casting. One thing was certain, Dano really enjoyed himself in the Australian scrub that day! -0-

we had a bite to eat, then I took Dano up a dirt road, filming the scenery as we went, on a search for other hand stencils known by me to exist along the roadside. At one roadside rock shelter were a number of fading white hand stencils, and a search further on up into the rock formations soon resulted in me relocating a lengthy rock shelter not visited by me for many years. Here were a number of red ochre hand stencils. Returning to the car after taking photos of the rock art, Heather then drove us into the nearby Wolgan Valley, the location of former shale mining operations and an abandoned town [the houses had actually long ago been removed elsewhere]. As we drove into the valley, I had Heather stop the car for some picture-taking. As I got out I found, lying on the ground, a small eolith, a crude small Homo erectus-type chopping tool! Driving further on we all had a look inside the old pub, which is now a museum, then on to a nearby Wolgan Riverside campground, which lies on the edge of dense mountainside scrub. It is real Yowie country hereabouts and we have gathered stories from this valley over the years, which include sightings on the fringe of the campground scrub. Dano and I had fun searching the bushland here and upon walking back to the car in fading light I could see some large Yowie tracks in riverside sand from the high embankment we were standing on, I tried to get a better look by climbing down a steep, slippery track. Naturally I slipped, landing in a heap, and scratching the lens of my video camera in the process. [It is currently being repaired]. The Yowie tracks turned out to be the multiple feet impressions of modern human campers! Still, it had been a great day and a happy end to our all-too-short outings with our new friend and future fellow field worker, Dano. We said goodbye to him later that night after driving him back to Blacktown, but look forward to his move to Australia in 2 years time. Meanwhile we will keep in touch. Heather and I had not been to the Wolgan Valley for quite some time, and I now plan another Yowie investigation in this wilderness. -0-

RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL TYPE SPECIMENS OF THE URU CIVILISATION FINDS OF 1965.
By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 2009. On Saturday 21st February I finally had an opportunity to show Greg Foster the first megalithic relics found by me back in 1965, from which I identified an Australian Lost Civilisation and which once I was able to translate some of the rock script of this people, discovered that they called themselves the Uru. The location, here on the Upper Blue Mountains, remains top secret and Greg is the first person to be shown these sites, due to the ever-present threat of vandalism. The type specimens of the civilisations identification consist of the already well publicised serpent altar atop a tall sandstone rock mound, up which a now fallen away rock slab stairway passed a large sandstone rock bearing the serpentine face image of Nim the Sun-God on one side, and the human face profile of Ay-I, the Uruan supreme Being on the other. New photos were taken of the site before we left. It is a strange fact that the area of this megalithic site has produced very few rock inscriptions, but on this occasion we came upon a set of clifftop letterings, later translated to read: Nim, the Light of the Sun. Recite His name at this place. At another altar nearby a second set of glyphs read: Place of the Sun, Na-Na declares. I then took Greg on a drive with Heather to another remote relic hidden deep in rugged bushland. Relocating it was a problem for I had to relocate a particular gully top, one of three or four, not visited for some years. However, as afternoon light began to fade we found it after some [for me exhausting] bush-bashing, and here I was at last able to show Greg a most top-secret find in the form of an Uruan Sphinx! The Sphinx depicts the Sun-God, Nim with a humanoid-serpentine face. At the rear of the large rock is a tail ending in a snake head image. There are glyphs carved upon the head of the image, and also upon a lab at the base of the face end, which faces the rising sun. A deteriorated square gathering place at the front of the image is almost unrecognisable and a wall of small stones once enclosed the entire image. This relic is shown in our book Uru The Lost Civilisation of Australia. I now intend to make a pilgrimage of sorts to all my earliest Uru discoveries. It will soon be 45 years since I made that momentous discovery on a cold, dull day in 1965, which was to lead me, eventually together with Heather, on a nationwide quest for more Uru megalithic works; a search in fact which has taken us as far as New Zealand. How could I have imagined, that day when I first gazed upon the clifftop serpent altar, that in years to come I would be uncovering extensive megalithic stone alignments, stone circles and other astronomical structures; [and together with Heather after we met in 1972] pyramids and large temples, massive stone heads and even lost megalithic cities of this mysterious people? The search for the Uru across Australia will be never-ending and we wonder what future major discoveries of this people awaits us. -0-

was the name for the creature given them by the Celts who had [on other evidence elsewhere on the river] established a colony in this area some 3,000 years ago. The former Aborigines of the Hawkesbury River called these marine reptiles the Mirreeulla. These latest carvings are not the only ones depicting these animals, but they show that the early tribespeople were well aware of these reptiles thousands of years ago. -0-

On Wednesday afternoon, 25th March 2009, the Gilroys and Greg Foster, investigated various points of the Hawkesbury River between Wisemans Ferry and Lower Portland. At one point, Greg captured this striking outline in the river, of something large heading west. It suggests a large creature with two sets of long paddle-like flippers, large body, long neck and tail moving about a metre below the surface. Photo copyright Greg Foster 2009.
The large creatures wake shows it moving closer to shore here on its journey west. It did not break surface. Rexs camera malfunctioned and no photos registered on his digital camera, however, Greg was successful in taking a number of digital shots of the creature. Photo copyright Greg Foster 2009.

This particular formation was the fourth of its kind, one having been found on the February search, and two others back in 1999 about 3 kilometres north of here. Before long we came across a square granite temple enclosure containing a flat altar stone within it, and also a crude libation bowl. Just to its east we found a stylised-shaped serpent altar with a flat surface, measuring 1.38m in length by 1m width and 41cm depth. However, the real prize here was the discovery of a large granite image of Nim in serpent form, on a west to east axis, in the act of giving birth to the Cosmic Egg out of which the Universe and all life arose in Uruan religious mythology. This monstrous image, the second large serpent Nim image found within two days in this wilderness, because I had been out to Kanangra with our visitor from the UK, Dane Kociuch on Friday 20th march during which we found a 7.3m long granite image at an already known temple where I had overlooked the image on previous visits! This latest find, from the cosmic egg to rear end of the Nim serpent image measured 10.6m long by 52cm deep at the head, 1.53m deep at mid-body and towards the tail. This image is so far the only one of its kind found and we wondered what might yet lie hidden in the nearby dense bush. ***** I realised that we were exploring close to cliffs on our south side and thought this suggested I was on the right promontory of land, but as it soon turned out I found we were once more unsuccessful in relocating our objective. However, we continued on, eventually reaching a section of open granite amid the foliage, opening out onto a clifftop view of the southern expanse of this wilderness. Greg and I could see that we were probably the first Europeans to ever stand here. However, we had stumbled upon an undoubted Uruan ceremonial site, for carved into rocks we found engravings. One was an inscription which later translation stated: Land of Nim. The Sun-Serpent. This is the place of worship. Nearby we found an ancient star constellation marked out by small cupule engravings and glyphs stating: Place of watching the stars. Carved deep into a rock was a 64cm long serpent image of Nim. Nearby was an almost Egyptian-like upright serpent and to its right a Sun-disc. These inscriptions were soon joined by something far older, in the forms of two fossil human feet impressions. The right foot was little more than a worn-away hollow, whereas the left foot although a little distorted, still showed toe outlines and was just under 30cm in length. Yet to the north of here, hidden amid nearby thick shrubbery, I came across an extensive square mass of granite slabs and stone blocks forming the last remnants of a wall. The slabs were buried by bush but for two sections examined by me. Time prevented us from any further measuring or photography as we knew we had to still battle our way back out of this wilderness to Heather. This we accomplished, finding altars and other structures along the way. Perhaps we will get back here some time. I would like to include the Serpent-Cosmic Egg image in a future DVD documentary on the Uru civilisation, and as we have a good idea where these relics are, we should be able to find them again. It was quite an adventure, and we now wonder what other treasures we might find on our latest search for the lost promontory. -0-

Hopefully a club Skywatch out at McMahons Lookout, Wentworth Falls, will be more successful, and we hope to pick a good night for it. Meanwhile, on Thursday night 9th April, I took our dog, Chloe, for a walk in the moonlight in the grounds of Katoomba Golf Club. At a high spot looking east about midnight, I spotted a bright golden light coming from the east at some speed, but this decreased to a slow pace as it passed over Jamieson Valley to the south. Here it appeared to stop as I watched. Then within a minute an approaching cloudbank covered the object. Then on Good Friday night, not long before midnight, I took Chloe for another walk in the Golf Club grounds. While allowing her off the leash to run about, I watched the sky, which was relatively clear with a full moon. After some time in the grounds, around 2.30am, I decided to go home. Just as I was about to call out to Chloe, who was enjoying her run I spotted, high in the sky and certainly higher than 40,000 ft [the average height for airliners], I saw what must have been a mighty square shaped craft, a square of red glowing lights, moving in the sky to the north-east. As I watched it proceeded to move to a point almost above me over a period of about 5 minutes before once again stopping. Then, after about a minute or two, it proceeded to slowly [as before] move off westward. I am certain that what I saw was no Earth aircraft. From where I stood, I thought the massive craft had to be town-sized. It then began glowing gold around the outline of the square, still glowing red within. It continued moving slowly, so that it took some 15 minutes to move over the horizon out of sight. The golf course is a good place for Skywatches and in future I shall take my binoculars with me when walking Chloe! -0-

In the wake of the Gilroys recent McMahons Lookout experience with invisible ETs caught on digital camera, what follows is a theory which might help to explain this eerie experience. I have already experienced being followed by an invisible being out on the dirt road to Hanging Rock, outside Blackheath as reported in previous Temple of Nim newsletters. It is also interesting that both here, and in the McMahons Lookout area UFO crashes and apparent landings have been reported in the past, and these areas are also known in local Aboriginal traditions as places where Sky People have landed long ago, inhabiting a spirit world unseen by us [but perhaps viewable to digital photography?]. Apparent invisible UFOs have landed, and when they have flown away they have left behind them saucer nests. These beings and their flying craft are on another dimension in time and space and otherwise while invisible to us, might be captured on digital cameras in the same manner that we are now able to photograph light energy orbs.
24
My theory holds that these beings have evolved on another time/space dimension; that is another Universe parallel with that of our own. ***** There are people who have claimed to have been abducted by ETs into landed spacecraft in areas where other people would have seen them and the craft, but actually saw nothing! In other worlds the abductees were taken into another parallel dimension invisible to us, and which is part of a parallel Universe. Yet if this is so then how was this parallel Universe formed? I have a theory which places this event back at the time of the latest Big Bang. This theory holds that at the very millisecond of the mighty explosion, there was a jolt which caused a split in time in which the matter that was to form our Universe was divided into two groups that independent of one-another, developed on different time scales. Thus this other Universe would be invisible to our world. This could explain how beings on this other dimension, and their craft, could land here unseen due to them being on another time dimension. Thus ETs could abduct Earthlings one way or anther in their invisible state, and their abductees could only see their abductors at this time. Once released from the craft they would once more be back in their own time so would see nothing. In another situation our astronomers cannot see this other Universe through their telescopes of detect it with any of their other, highly technical equipment. Yet those ETs can see our planet/Universe. Surely this is due to their being on another, faster dimension, in that at the moment of the Big Bang jolt, that Universe had a millisecond start ahead of our own Universe, and therefore they could be eons ahead of us in technological advances. Their world, and themselves, have evolved much further ahead of us in that their development was faster somewhat compared to our own evolution. ***** Evolution on the particular planet where the said beings come from is probably along similar lines to ours, with the evolving of life from primitive micro-organisms leading to various other animal forms, among which were primitive creatures along the lines of our primates, thence evolving into their version of hominids, or astrohominids if you like. These beings would probably have evolved throughs stone tool and fire-making to eventually rise to their advanced state of evolution and super-space technology. On this other parallel Universe, there would be myriads of stars and planets like our own, among which are planets capable of supporting life, including intelligent life. What would these ETs look like? If their evolution is somewhat ahead of us, they should resemble ourselves, but perhaps with larger heads housing larger brains [?]. On other parallel planets intelligent life forms could have evolved as intelligent energy in the form of light energy orbs, which come from the natural electro-magnetic energy found in the ground of the said planet. [We may already be host to such a locally evolved life form!] This proposed parallel Universe manifests itself in other aspects ie in the ability of very young children to see elementals, and various other beings not visible to other people. Digital photography may capture some of these entities, living on that other parallel world. People have claimed to have been abducted by invisible intelligences. These intelligences may be in the forms of light energy orbs, as I have found, having been followed by dozens of them one night at Katoomba Falls! If our future space travellers are to eventually explore outer space with the aid of time window technology [when it becomes available], travel between these worlds will take minutes of Earth time to and from worlds. ***** If the Big Bang saw the creation of a parallel Universe that is ahead of us in evolution, what of yet a second parallel Universe which might have gone backwards in time by perhaps an equal distance to the other one? If such a Universe exists it would perhaps explain peoples claims of having been abducted to the past by ETs [or Earthlings?] from our future by the same invisible means as before. Here is a field for further investigation concerning impossible possibilities, but possibilities nonetheless! -0-

Our previous meeting was a huge success and we look forward to seeing you at our next one. There should be some good Skywatches ahead of us up here at Katoomba, weather permitting. Meanwhile, there a lot happening up there at present so Until our next meeting
