Huge fossil tracks said by Aborigines to have been left by the “Narragun giants” near Mt Gambier, South Australia, come from volcanic deposits which could be anywhere up to a million years old. Vol- canic eruptions in ice-age Victoria, on the other hand, have produced hominid evidence preserved by much recent lava flows. For example, the lava flow from the Scoria Cone at Mount Buninyong, about 10 kilo metres south-east of Ballarat, covered a lake deposit from which, in 1864, the disputed Buninyong bone implement was found at a depth of 80 metres together with the remains of an extinct Kangaroo. The implement is part of a rib of a 'Nototherium’, and has been cut to an irregular point from opposite sides. The Buninyong remains are dated at least 200,000 years old. The most extensive series of giant-and smaller-sized, volcanically-preserved fossil hominid footprints and handprints so far discovered at any single Australian location are embedded in mudstone deep in the Carrai Range, which rises up to 1,300 meters above sea level, 60 Kilometers west of Kempsey on the New South Wales north coast. My wife Heather and I discovered the tracks during the course of a yowie field research expedition which we made to the Kempsey district in April 1977. Early sightings reports from last century led us to explore the Carrai Range, and it was during an inspection of cliffs overlooking a remote gully that we stumbled upon the fossil tracks. They are embedded in two huge, obliquely-tilted slabs situated either side of a deep cutting overlooking a wide, deep gully. Although, it is difficult to visualize now, the whole area once had been swampland. Groups of giant creatures and their children had walked, squatted and sat upon the edge of this swamp, Then, soon afterwards, the peace was shattered. Volcanic ash and lava poured out of a nearby crater and forced the giants to flee for their lives, covering the tracks. In great ages past, a river cut its way through the swamp, gradually cutting a deep into the Earth below the layers of lava and ash and forming a deep gully. Heat and rain gradually re-exposed the tracks, while wind and erosion cut away at the base of the nearby cliffs, hollowing out deep rock shelters beneath the fossil tracks. This gradually had the effect of splitting the rock above, which eventually resulted in two huge sections containing the fossils falling into the cutting created by erosion. Volcanologist's are divided on when the volcanic eruptions here- abouts ceased, but it is certain that this event took place no later than about one million years ago! Since the initial fossil/handprint discovery, two further mudstone track sites have been discovered nearby, bringing the total fossil impressions to about 90 tracks! The footprints range from child-sized examples measuring 20 cm long by 10 cm wide and 26 cm long by 13 cm wide, to monstrous tracks 62 cm long by 33 cm wide across the toes, and one truly monstrous half-intact track of 42 cm width across the toes by 60 cm length to the mid-foot where the track breaks off. Had this track been complete it would have reached up to 120 centimeters in length! There are handprints of various sizes, from 13 cm length by 23 cm width, to one monstrous left-hand- print measuring an astounding 41 cm width from outstretched thumb to little finger, by 35 cm length from mid-finger to palm! Some footprints look like giant human tracks, whereas others are more ape- like, but it is obvious that the monsterous beings who made these tracks in the sands of time stood any- where from 4 to 6.6 to even 8.3 metres tall. Aborigines who have seen the fossil tracks and handprints say they were made by two different races of giant beings: the giant “Goolagah, and the half-man, half-animal forefathers of the yowies. The evi- dence suggests that giant hominids shared the region with Gigantopithecus-type creatures in the begin- ning of the last ice age when volcanic eruptions were commonplace in northern New South Wales. On Thursday 27th, July 1989, my wife Heather and I stumbled upon two fossilized giant-man tracks preserved on two mudstone slabs a few meters apart from one another upon a creek-bank near Black- town, west of Sydney. One is a modern human foot and measuring 53 cm length by 19 cm width across 298 Appendix D: Scientific Evidence Blacktown NSW Atlantis, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation
