    On Thursday 1st September 2011, Heather and I, together with our leading field assistant, GregFoster, visited a bushland area outside Glenbrook on archaeological matters. Greg and I made some majorfinds, however we did not expect to uncover a fossil dinosaur track!

    While investigating an area containing Cretaceous Period rocks [66-144 million years ago] Gregnoticed a deep three-toed impression upon the surface of a massive squarish ironstone slab. Closeexamination proved it to be the track of a Theropod [ie bipedal] dinosaur. It measured 40cm long by 38cm

    wide across the outstretched outer toes, by 13cm deep.A second Theropod dinosaur track was discovered by Westmead-based colleague, Nigel Kerr when

    he showed Heather and I a Cretaceous rock shoal deposit in the Parramatta district. The track was distorted

    in mud, afterwards covered by a volcanic ash deposit long since worn away to reveal the fossil.The three-toed impression measured 36cm wide across the outstretched toes by 34cm long and is a

    shallow impression worn by time.These fossil tracks have been uncovered in time to be included in the Gilroy next book Burrunjor

    Australias Living Tyrannosaurus now in its final stages of preparation.-0-

    GIANT BEINGS OF PARRAMATTA,NSW.by Rex Gilroy

    Copyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

    Fossil feet impressions of giant hominids that roamed the Sydney district in past ages is to the Gilroysan established fact, as from fossils found in Tertiary deposits outside Sydney several years ago, and ascattering of finds made since 1970 at Campbelltown, Blacktown, Mulgoa, the Hawkesbury region etc., all

    dating roughly from the beginning of the Pleistocene or later [ie 2 to 2 million and around 500,000 years BP].These giants, probable larger forms of archaic Homo erectus, averaged heights of from 3.66 to asmuch as 5 and 6 metres.

    Now another series of fossil giant feet impressions joins the list, found at a top secret location in theParramatta district, by Westmead-based research colleague Nigel Kerr. Why the secrecy? For the simplereason that vandalism soon follows once such sites are made known to the general public!

    Nigels tracks are embedded in volcanically-preserved mudstone deposits laid down at least 2 millionyears ago, the tracks being situated in three levels, the top [surface] deposit, the second, an exposed mudstonelayer 11cm beneath the surface specimens, and the third, lowest deposit 17cm below the second one.

    The surface deposit contains a single right foot 40cm long by 24cm across the toes, 14cm wide acrossthe mid-foot and 15cm wide across the heel, the depth is 2cm. The track is situated on an south to north axis.

    The toes are well defined in this track, whereas separated 5cm from the size distorted little toes and pointingeastwards is a normal-size hominid foot whose toe features have worn away. This smaller track measured23cm long by 11cm wide across the toes area, 10cm wide at mid-foot and 6cm wide at the heel. The track is1.5cm deep.

    The second, lower [ie mid layer deposit] contains a single giant hominid track 34cm long by 14.5cmwide across the toes, 13cm wide at mid-foot and 11cm across the heel by 1cm deep. A right foot impressionlike the other example of the surface deposit, its owner had to have been at lest 3.66 metres tall.

    The lowest deposit contains a distorted left foot impression; 24cm long by 10cm wide across the toes,5cm wide at mid-foot and 5cm wide across the heel and is 1cm deep.

    1.3 metres southwest of the top surface giant track Nigel had discovered the impressions of ahominid hand. Volcanic mud and ash had covered these impressions. Rain later fell, the water reacting with

    the volcanic chemicals to turn the tracks and the mudflat they had been made into a concrete state. Gradualwearing away of the overlying volcanic deposit exposed these tracks through time.The smaller tracks could have been those of children of the giant beings, or else modern-height

    hominids that lived contemporaneously with the giant race.These beings lived on long enough to be seen by the earliest Aboriginal arrivals in the Sydney region,

    whose folklore spoke of a race of giant men and women that had been resident hereabouts since long beforetheir arrival.

    Giant races once covered Australia, as from their fossil tracks, some fossil teeth, the giant-size skullendocasts of the Wadbilliga Range west of Narooma [south coastal New South Wales] and numerous stonemegatool discoveries made Australia-wide by the Gilroys and others. The Parramatta district tracks add yetfurther evidence to this aspect of our Stone-Age past, for too long overlooked by conservative university

    archaeologists. -0-

    PRE-ABORIGINAL HOMINID FOSSIL FOOTPRINT AT AGLENBROOK,NEW SOUTHWALESVOLCANIC SITE.

    by Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

    While palaeontologists worldwide look to Africa for our human origins, discoveries across the world nowquestion Africa as the ultimate location or the birthplace of our species; and no more is this so than here in

    Australia.Conservative Australian science dates Aboriginal arrival here at lest 65,000 years [although estimates

    vary], having sailed here on crude rafts from island south-east Asia. Yet in far earlier times, during the earlyPleistocene Period all the present islands were part of a land-shelf that extended from mainland Asia to a thenunited New Guinea-Australia. This bridge would for millions of years, have permitted primitive hominidsaccess into Australia before the melting ice caps saw the rise of the worlds oceans in the last stages of the lastgreat Ice-Age, which turned the great Asia-Australia land bridge into the present day islands.

    This hypothesis is backed by the fossil skull-types of archaic and late Homo erectus, and lately skull-types of more than one form of Australopithecine, showing that these near-human ancestors had indeed

    spread out of Africa before 2 million years ago, to walk into our part of the world.I have already presented my case for Australopithecines in Australia in previous newsletters. The

    evidence is, whether conservative scientists like it or not, that a human evolution separate to that in Africa,occurred in Australia!

    The first modern humans are supposed to have appeared in Africa around 150,000-200,000 yearsago; whereas I possess mineralised skull-types of anatomically modern humans [Homo sapiens] 350,000-400,000 or more years old! Such evidence throws Aboriginal claims of being the first Australians into totaldisrepute, and therefore my evidence is continually denied and suppressed in the name of politicalcorrectness by those authorities who should know better!

    Australia is a land of forbidden fossils, hominid fossil footprints in particular, and many have beendiscovered across the Blue Mountains by me during a lifetimes field researches. These Tracks through Time

    were embedded in cold volcanic ash after eruptions by giant beings and others of modern human height andthey are found Australia-wide. Yet those of the Blue Mountains figure prominently in my researches, for they

    were in most cases laid down 1; 2; 3; 4 million and perhaps more years ago!Those interested in pursuing my findings at greater length are directed to my website

    mysteriousaustralia.com as well as my books, Mysterious Australia; The Yowie Mystery Living Fossilsfrom the Dreamtime among others.

    *****The latest fossil supporting my claims is a foot impression embedded in a volcanic ironstone deposit.

    It was discovered on Thursday 8th September, 2011 when Greg Foster and I were exploring a gully in theGlenbrook region on the edge of the Blue Mountains.

    Greg spotted the impression first and I set to work measuring, sketching and photographing the relic.

    The human-looking foot impression measured 33cm long by 12cm wide across the toes, 12cm wide at mid-foot and 9cm across the heel, being embedded up to 2cm deep in the mineralised volcanic ash and muddeposit. The track, and others like it, were usually preserved by rain falling later, the water reacting with the

    volcanic chemicals to turn the impression into a concrete state.The fossil is of immense age, at least dawn Pleistocene, or even late Pliocene, meaning that it is

    around 2 million years, perhaps 3 million years old. It is hard to say exactly how old this track is when all ouruniversity vulcanologists can say about Blue Mountains eruptions is that they are 20 million years or less inage! However, I believe we are looking at the period 2 million years to perhaps up to 3 million years BP[Before Present]. This was not the time of Homo erectus but of Australopithecus. Thus the Glenbrook NSW,fossil footprint is yet one more mystery of the unknown fossil hominid history of Australia.

    AHAWKESBURYRIVERMONSTER PHOTOGRAPHEDFROM MOUGAMARANATURE RESERVE??

    by Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

    On Saturday 27th

    August, 2011 after an early arrival at Mougamara Nature Reserve to see andphotograph wildflowers [the Reserve is only open to the public for this purpose for four weeks in August-September each year], I left Heather and our friend Ann Taylor at the car park to make a lone hike to a highpoint from where good views of the Hawkesbury River [onto which the park backs] are to be had.

    As Heather and I had not been here since 2009 it was good to be back. Eventually reaching the highviewing point via a rough climbing track, I found that areas of the river were still partly covered in thick fog,which had covered much of the Sydney district and lower Blue Mountains that morning. Although the fogwas clearing the river remained hazy. Despite this, scanning the river with my binoculars and while lookingnorthwards up river I spotted a moving, lengthy dark shape, swimming submerged towards an inlet acrossfrom where the river turns westward.

    Aiming my camera at the distant moving dark mass, I was able to capture a reasonable long distance

    image, and then a telephoto shot. The time was 11.08am.At this point a number of park visitors arrived and I quickly told one couple about the still just visible

    creature and we observed it as it finally vanished from sight.Excited at what I had just seen and photographed I began the long trek back to the carpark to show

    Heather and Ann what I had photographed.This river holds many secrets and mysteries. The notorious Hawkesbury River Monster is one of

    them and surely its most infamous mystery of all.-0-

    AHAWKESBURYRIVERMONSTER??SIGHTING AT EBENEZER.

    by Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

    While exploring the Hawkesbury River bank along the Swallow Reach Reserve at Ebenezer, whichlies north of Windsor on the afternoon of Tuesday 6 th September 2011, at 3.22pm I saw in the river somedistance to the south of where I stood on the bank, moving just beneath the surface away from the oppositeriver bank, a dark shape at least 2 metres in length moving east to west.

    With my camera I was able to take long distance and telephoto shots of the mystery creature, which atone brief moment appeared to propel itself with the aid of paddle-type flippers. The mystery creature [was it aplesiosaur?] then submerged out of sight.

    Later, at another Ebenezer location I chanced to come across the faded engraved image of aplesiosaur-type creature, better known as the Mirreeulla, or Moolyewonk to the former Aboriginal

    tribespeople centuries before European arrival.The carving had to be chalked in for photographic purposes. It measures 38cm long by 23cm wide

    across the paddles, with a 10cm long tail and 16cm long neck and head.The Ebenezer sighting comes at a time when Heather and I are planning to carry out more

    Hawkesbury River monster watches and a report from our top field assistant Greg Foster that a friend of his

    NEW DISCOVERIES OF BRONZE-AGE COLONISTS EVIDENCEFROM THE SYDNEY-BLUE MOUNTAINSAREA.

    by Rex GilroyCopyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

    The past two months has seen some remarkable discoveries made, which throws new light upon thecolonisation of the Sydney-Blue Mountains region by peoples from Egyptian, Phoenician and Celtic landsduring Bronze-Age times [3000-1400 BC].

    We begin with discoveries made by our Westmead-based colleague, Nigel Kerr, who through his owninvestigations has uncovered evidence of the above in the Parramatta River region, where Greg Foster and I

    have in the past also found much the same evidence, all of which further proves that Australias history ofdiscovery and colonisation pre-dates the First Fleet [1788] by thousands of years!Having been contacted by Nigel regarding various rock inscriptions he had uncovered, Heather and I

    visited him and his wife Jody on Tuesday 23rd August and were soon at a sandstone river scrub location,where Nigel showed me a weathered sandstone altar upon a slope in front of a small rock shelter. The altar,1.2 metres long by 80cm wide and 1.12 metres deep bore ancient Egyptian glyphs which I translated to read:Temple of the Sun Ra behold his rays.

    Nigel then showed me at another nearby location a large flat altar stone at the entrance of anotherrock overhang. Measuring 2.4 metres long by 90cm wide and 51cm deep, a Phoenician inscription at one endread: Altar of the Sun. At this prepared enclosure within the temple sacrifice to the Sun Ra. Beside the glyphs was acrude image of the God holding a snake an ancient Sun symbol.

    Here was a Phoenician inscription with an Egyptian meaning, demonstrating the mixing of culturesthat once occurred hereabouts.Nearby another inscription in Celtic ogham beside an image of a hawk symbolising the God Bel,

    carved upon a vertical rockface read: In the name of Bel behold his light. The dark-haired God. This inscription wasin the vicinity of an Egypto-Phoenician message cared upon a clifftop sandstone shoal. It stated: The degrees ofthe Sun are measured and timed by Ga-si at the Sun Temple enclosure. Here was an astronomical message amid thehardly recognisable remnants of a stone temple that had stood here some 3,500 or more years ago.

    We had to return home after I was shown these finds, but we returned on Wednesday 7th September,when Nigel had another remarkable discovery at another river location to show us. High up above the riversedge amid dense bush he showed us several large crude stone pillars that, we were informed, until 1941 hadstood in a circular formation, a megalithic temple. The structure was senselessly bulldozed by local city

    council workers.At the rivers edge Nigel found a small Phoenician inscription that included a boat, cut into the edgeof a large rock that projected over the water. It read: Here fishermen gather in boats to fish.

    Fishermen were always important for their providing the coastal colony settlement inhabitants withfish, as much as the farmers that grew the crops inland, for it is certain that a great Sydney region colony

    The Aboriginal rock engraving at Ebenezerbelieved to depict a plesiosaur, seen by the artist

    in the adjacent river thousands of years ago.Photo copyright Rex Gilroy 2011.

    containing thousands of people [see Pyramids of Destiny Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings URU Publications 2009] was established hereabouts 4,000 years ago.

    While searching nearby Nigel found a lengthier inscription upon a large rock slab, which I latertranslated to read: This stone declares that all fishermen gather at the Temple of the Eye of Bel on Beltane [ie May Day] toworship and give thanks to Bel the dark-haired, Bel the heroic serpent. The inscription was largely in Celtic oghamscript. Bel was the Sun-God of the Celts as Baal was to the Phoenicians. Obviously the nearby megalithiccircle ruins had once stood as a fishermans temple.

    Time once again was against us but we plan to return with Nigel for further investigations in this age.Meanwhile another big finds were being made in the Glenbrook region inland from the Nepean River, to

    which we now turn*****

    On a spot decision by Heather on Thursday 25th August 2011, we visited a bushland area nearGlenbrook where I explored an open site above a creek that led into the Nepean River. While searching bushon a hill overlooking this creek I came across a large stone slab bearing a deeply cut image of the Sun withtwo downward and outward extending rays upon a flat surface 1 metre long by 80cm wide and 40cm deep.

    High up, on the east side of the hill I afterwards uncovered a 2.36 metre long by 89cm wide ironstoneslab 40cm deep, bearing a crude right face profile with an eye and a nose. At the rear of the face I found threePhoenician letters B-h-l spelling Baal. Here was an image of the Phoenician Sun-God, now lying flat on the

    ground but when standing upright had faced the east. Another large ironstone slab 1.4 metres to its right wasoverlooked on this occasion, but when closely examined on my next visit, [this time with Greg Foster], wouldsurprise me.

    On my way down to the clearing where Heather waited, I came upon a crude face carving on asandstone rock with the Phoenician inscription emblazoned on the forehead: Observe here the Suns light. Ibelieve that the remains of a temple will eventually come to light hereabouts. I then found a lengthy Celticogham inscription with ship carvings later translated to read: Ships sailed to this place protected by the Sun led by ourleader Ham, the elder son of Gavin the bold fair-haired. Magog declares on this stone.

    I afterwards explored the creek in a deep gully to find a small set of glyphs [ogham] stating: Place ofEarth Mother worship, and nearby the ogham glyphs B-l for Bel, Sun-God of the Celts.

    We then drove home but returned here on Thursday 1st September with our leading field assistant

    Greg Foster to begin a detailed investigation which still continues.When I showed Greg the hilltop Baal image we also cleared forest debris from the second slab to find

    it bore an eye, nose and mouth. Two small Phoenician glyphs atop the head for T and N spelt Tanit. Herewas a crude image of Phoenician Earth-Mother Goddess, Tanit. It was apparent that both images had oncebeen erected upright to face the east, receiving the rays of the rising sun. The Earth-Mother image measured1.85 metres tall by 1.1 metres wide and 46cm deep.

    We also found a 1.1 metre tall by 1 metre wide and 40cm deep slab further down the forest coveredhill bearing a Celtic message: This stone erected here declares that this is the place to worship Bel the Sun.

    We then explored the gully below barely touched by my first visit, although I suspected more findsawaited discovery there. Here I found two small cliffside ship carvings formed from ogham letters, whichread: Hams ship The Light of Bel.

    Nearby amid large rock rubble was a fallen head image at the base of which on its right side were theCeltic letters for Bel. The head, with eyes, nose and mouth measured 1.34 metres when once erect by 80cm

    wide and 60cm deep. I told Greg, who was first to stumble upon this image, that this was THE find of theday!

    Daylight was fading as we made our way out of the gully to return to Heather. Yet as we were aboutto make the climb one last find awaited us, a squarish ironstone block 85cm long by 53cm wide and bearing acrudely carved Winged Sun image and Celto-Phoenician glyphs, stating: This stone declares that the Winged Sunin the clouds is our God. Beside this stone was another containing a 44cm long by 6cm wide snake image,another Sun symbol of the ancients.

    *****We all returned to this rich site of Celto-Phoenician rock art on Thursday 8th September. By now it

    was certain that this area was a mixed Celto-Phoenician farming community connected to others near Penrithand other locations already known from Bowral in the south to the Nepeans junction with the HawkesburyRiver, where many spectacular finds lead to the great Gosford area City of Be-row-Ra, but that is anotherstory. The full details can be read in the Gilroys 2009 book Pyramids of Destiny Lost Pacific Colonies ofthe Bronze-Age God-Kings [URU Publications].

    One cannot speak too highly of Greg, who has been with the Gilroys on many of our greatestdiscoveries, negotiating cliffs and boulders with the agility of a mountain goat. His talents on this day resultedin more dramatic finds.

    We returned to the gully where Greg immediately found a roundish sandstone boulder carved withtwo eyes, a Sun-disc and the Celtic letter B, denoting Bel the Sun. The boulder was 58cm long by 40cm

    wide and 16cm in depth.Then upon another sandstone rock once meant to stand upright but now overturned, where earlier I

    found a large mushroom glyph, Gregs eagle eye spotted more situated down one side of the stone whosesituation was awkward to record and photograph, but I did it. These glyphs included a solar disc and a smallmushroom symbol, the whole translating as Behold the [sacred] mushroom. Here consume the mushroomsof the Sun.

    The rock itself was 80cm long by 50cm wide and 40cm deep. Atop the stone were the Celtic glyphs for Bel.Greg soon discovered in an awkward, slippery place to get into, upon a creekside sandstone boulder,

    another fallen image of the Sun-God, Bel, the right side of his face almost obscured amid the rubble, but Iwas able to make out a right eye, nose and right half of the mouth. Celtic ogham identified the image, whichincluded a very rare [in Australia] horned Bel glyph. The inscription stated: The Sun, the God of Light. All

    gather in a body before his stone image for worship on this prepared ground. Observe him. Behold the face of Horned Bel. Thislarge head would have stood 1.4 metres tall, its width being 8cm, with a depth of 40cm.

    I was by this time exhausted. We sat upon a rock to rest only to spot yet another large head image

    two large eyes and a mouth, the huge slab lying partly obscured by another. Exhausted or not, I had tomeasure and photograph this probable Bel image. It would have stood upright at 1.6 metres tall by 1.4 metres

    wide and was at least 40cm deep, or what was visible amid surrounding rocks.Nearby we both spotted a sandstone head image measuring 19.5cm tall by 20.2cm wide and 5.6cm

    deep. Ogham glyphs on the back identified the image as Bel.We soon left that gully excited at what else surely still awaits discovery. We have yet to identify

    settlement remains although I have a good idea where such habitation remains may await discovery. The areaundoubtedly hides remains of a large farming settlement adjacent to this extensive religious centre. This sitecan now be recognised as the largest Celto-Phoenician settlement so far discovered on the [lower] BlueMountains.

    A case for their sudden appearance and vanishing without trace being due to Time-Windows ispresented, along with recently made foot impressions of these reptiles, including plaster cast examples fromthe recent South Australian finds of the Gilroys and Greg Foster, as well as fresh tracks found in KanangraBoyd wilderness and Wollemi National Park, location of the mysterious dinosaur Swamplands where eerieencounters with these monsters from another age have been claimed to have occurred.

    In remote parts of the world tales persist of giantreptilian survivors from the Age of Dinosaurs.Stories of sauropod-like, even Tyrannosaurus-likereptilian giants are known from the New Guineainterior. Our Aborigines speak of a giant bipedalreptilian monster called Burrunjor, which inhabits

    areas of Australias north [see Out of theDreamtime The Search for Australasias

    Unknown Animals, URU Publications 2006].Even many Europeans claim to have made

    sightings in these regions. The WollemiWilderness also has a long tradition of suchencounters. However, might it be that thesemonstrous reptiles from the past occasionally

    penetrate time windows into our present, or domodern humans occasionally do the same, to

    encounter such monsters.Sketch copyright Rex Gilroy 2011.
