These finds were made on the afternoon on Sunday 1st January. The first wasa large endocast of a skull very similar to the proto-Homo erectus skull-type foundon Narrow Neck Peninsula on January 7th 2005. This latest find comes from oldPleistocene deposits on the roadside near the Golden Stairs. Heather and I were atthe time driving out to the Water Board gate to take Cuddles for a walk, but due tobushfire danger, the road was closed to hikers. So I decided to spend time

thereabouts looking for fossils, and discovered the endocast soon after. We thendrove Cuddles out to Kings Tableland behind Wentworth Falls, where, as I walkerher along a dirt track, I spotted a strange lump of rock half buried in hard ground.Digging it out I found it to be the endocast of a small hominid brain endocastsimilar to that recovered in late December 2003 in Katoomba Golf Course. Bothfossils found this New Years Day have been ironstone and therefore are of greatage.

2006 promises to be a year of major new discoveries, and the Temple ofNim research team will be kept pretty busy uncovering our hidden past. Thereare new fossil hominid giant-size and smaller footprints to record at sites betweenSydney and the Blue Mountains, and a search for further evidence of fossil giant

hominid skull and other remains, as well as their stone megatools over a widearea stretching from southern New South Wales to the Central West. The searchfor more [smaller] fossil hominid skulls will also be stepped up, and furtherresearch carried out on the Bega District volcanic site where, in May last year, theGilroys uncovered a 7 million year old endocast skull of an ancestral hominid.

We will be on the lookout for more trustworthy field assistants this year, tohelp with the workload of discoveries. Searches for the Yowie [ie surviving Homoerectus], Rexbeast [the giant form] and the mysterious little pygmy folk of theBlue Mountains will be stepped up, and the results used in the Gilroys Yowiedocumentary still being filmed.

We will also welcome new, regular members of the Blue Mountains UFOResearch Club willing to go out at night summer or winter for Skywatches, andsurveillance of the Burragorang underground US top secret advanced spacetechnology research base.

The Gilroys have largely had to saddle all the work for cryptozoologicalfieldwork on the Blue Mountains and will welcome anyone willing to assist us. Thiswill include the search for, and plaster-casting of mystery animal and hominidfootprints in remote localities such as the Wollangambie, Wollemi and Newnesforests. It is exciting work, because this region is home to not only the Yowie/Homoerectus, but also the extinct Tasmanian Tiger [Thylacine], Australian Panther andBlue Mountains Lion, the mysterious emu and giant monitor lizard, among other

elusives.In the wake of the discovery by Debra and Russell Dunn of the mighty

Orange NSW megalithic temple dedicated to the Uruan Moon Goddess, Ara and herprotector, the Owl God, Ma; as well as other new megalithic sites in the FlindersRanges of South Australia, the Blue Mountains and Central Coast of New SouthWales, our knowledge of Uruan astronomical science is advancing, and this hadrecently been further assisted by the discovery of a massive megalithicastronomical/temple complex of the Uru deep in the Kanangra Boyd wilderness,while another site deep in the Newnes forest country awaits Temple of Niminvestigation.

The Lost City of Kanangra, which the Gilroys have single-handedlymeasured and filmed over the past ten years continues to grow, with two moreextensive sites added to it, one being a huge temple of crude granite stones, atwhich a massive assembly area, stone enclosure and huge stone head of the Sun-

God, Nim was discovered by Rex Gilroy. The true location of this over 10 squarekilometres of fallen temples, other monuments and settlement traces is far tooimportant to be made known to the general public for obvious reasons, and theGilroys have jealous rivals who would gladly plagiarise their discovery and manyyears work as their own, for media publicity which would only lead to treasure-hunting vandalism, destruction by religious fanatics etc., which was the fate of the

Gympie Pyramid so many years ago. Therefore only the most trustworthyassistants will be chosen for this particular investigation.Work on the new sites at Kanangra will include measuring and filming the

sites, and there are pyramidal structures hereabouts needing particular attention.There will be all kinds of research, both conventional and paranormal involvedover a wide area of Australia, assisted by newly added fieldworkers. Skywatchesfrom ancient Uruan astronomical sites are planned, and this newsletter willtherefore, hopefully be seeing plenty of action reports in the coming issues!

It is hoped to carry out research deep inland up the Hawkesbury River fortraces of ancient middle-eastern colonists, as well as landfalls by ancient ChineseVikings, Portuguese, Spaniards and others; as well as investigate the Hunter River

district into the Central West for further traces of Phoenician and Egyptian etcmining colonisation in Bronze-Age times. The search for their ancient open-cutmines will be one important aspect of this research, particularly at locations southof Bathurst, the Mudgee district, and areas further west, including new sites on theNSW Far South Coast and inland.

Our work will sometimes involve long hikes to sites, sometimes bush-bashinginto remote situations, and also climbing hills and mountains to record ancientastronomical sites etc. So our appeal goes out to the adventurous who want tolearn about the myriad of lost mysteries to be found throughout this timelesscontinent.

Our work will see us recording rock scripts of the ancient Egypto-Phoeniciancolonists of the Central Coast, whose day-to-day messages tell us more about thedaily lives of the thousands of inhabitants of the Bronze-Age Gosford Colony thanthe much publicised Kariong hieroglyphs, which speak only of the names ofdeceased locally-appointed Pharaohs, and their burial sites [largely up theHawkesbury River].

A lot of fieldwork is needed this year throughout the Blue Mountains andSydney rivers and creek systems where ancient relics and rock scripts telling ofPhoenician and other visitations, even long-term colonisation have already beenfound.

So anyone who feels up to this sort of fieldwork, is welcome to call the

Gilroys on 02 47823441; email [email protected] [PO Box 202Katoomba NSW 2780].

During the winter months while the snakes are gone, there will be searchesfor Lost Pygmy Tribe and Yowie habitation sites at certain swampland and gullylocations, as well as forest sites, where campfires and stone tools have been foundon previous searches by the Gilroys and Nim team members. Filming of thesesites on video, like so many other locations where hominids past and present havebeen in occupation will be carried out, and a full film record of Uru sites will be onetarget of the 2006 Temple of Nim team.

Our intention is to keep up a round-the-clockresearch objective this year, with many assistantsover a wide area of Australia, so if YOU are interested,we would like to hear from you soon.

Blue

Mountains UFO Activity A Continuing Mystery.By Rex Gilroy. Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006.

In my next UFO book now in preparation, concerning the Blue Mountains, Iwill present not only historical period material, and ancient Aboriginal traditions ofGods from the Stars, but also a wealth of modern-day sightings reports, alienabductions cases and cases of people who have somehow stepped back in time. Allthis in a region where aircraft have gone missing, people vanished intounderground worlds, or else claimed to have been taken for joy flights by ETs!

It is also, of course, a region beneath which lies a network of top-secretAmerican advanced space technology bases, where time-travel associated withspace voyages to distant worlds is a prime research.

Blue Mountains UFO Research Club members have an important role to playhere, carrying out Skywatches and recording every mysterious object seen overthese skies, and this can even sometimes include daytime sightings. Right now as Itype, the Megalong-Burragorang Valley are experiencing more strange lights atnight, but the Wollemi region is also at present the scene of saucer-shaped andother UFO sightings by campers and others. Consider these latest reports:

1. On July 2005, Mr and Mrs K & C of Springwood, while driving on the Bell to MtVictoria road at 1am, observed high in the sky to the west, 8 silver lightsmoving in a roughly circular formation from south to north. They stopped thecar and got out to watch the lights on the roadside. The lights moved slowly,

taking 15 minutes to move out of sight across the horizon.2. Mr John E and his female passenger, Miss S stopped their motorcycle around

5pm on May 12th 2005 outside Yarramundi, to watch a blue and silverysaucer-shaped object moving rapidly from the northwest high above them.

The craft appeared to suddenly slow to a halt, hover for a minute or two,then proceed to move of to the south-west, increasing speed as it did so, tovanish out of sight over the Blue Mountains in the direction of Springwood.

3. Three glowing silvery light balls were claimed spotted over Newnes around5am on February 10th 2003 by a group of young campers. The objects werecoming from north to south high above the trees.

4. In a similar incident, 5 orange-glowing balls the size of cars, were describedby Mr J of Penrith, as hovering high over Penrith around 8pm on August 6th

2004. Two moved off in the direction of Sydney, another moved in thedirection of Warragamba, while the other two simply faded away.

5. On Three occasions between 1 and 3am during December 2005, the author,while taking our dog cuddles for a walk in the cool air, from our Katoombahome up onto Cliff drive, with binoculars, spotted the massive space stationreportedly seen by many people on and off over the last couple of years, aseither being high in the south or south-west sky, or else in the west or north,and sometimes moving over Katoomba. On my latest sightings the mightycraft was either hovering in the north-west, the south-west and on the last

occasion, I observed it, between cloud cover, to move slowly across theheavens from south to north, to the west of Katoomba, taking 45 minutes tovanish to the north. At all times the craft was high above the earthsatmosphere.

6. Over the past month [December-January] a yellowish-glowing saucer-typecraft has been seen by a family living at Lawson. The craft has beenobserved at 3km in the sky to the south, moving west, or else in oneinstance, flying high over the town from south to north.

7. One night in December 2005, while I was walking Cuddles the dog up theroad beside the entrance to Katoomba Golf Course, at about 2.30am I

spotted, high above cloud level to the north-east above Katoomba, a blue-shining object, star-like, moving from the north-east over Katoomba. It wasabout this point that it appeared to change course, moving more rapidlywestward, before turning southward from a point above Oberon to the west.It then moved rapidly out of view over Burragorang Valley.

8. A red-glowing, triangular craft house-size, has been claimed seen high in thesky on several occasions during November-December 2005, moving from thenorth over Lithgow, southward over Megalong Valley.

9. Strange lights and mystery craft of one shape or another have beencommonplace events over Burragorang-Megalong Valleys lately, and theycontinue to be seen.

It looks like some time spent Skywatching out on Narrow Neck by BlueMountains UFO Research members could prove to be highly successful thisyear.

-0-Report on the Australian Cosmic Connection UFO Metaphysicalconference held in Adelaide November 12th-13th, 2005.By Rex Gilroy.

This conference organised by Kevin and Vanessa Robb and the rest of theirteam at Australian Cosmic Connection, in Adelaide for a first effort turned out to bea great success. We eagerly look forward to the next one!

There were originally twelve speakers arranged, [one of whom was asurprise speaker], but Mike Farrell who was to speak on overseas UFO film footage,was unable to attend. The conference was held over Saturday/Sunday 12th and 13th

November 2005, and was held at the Marion sports and Community Club.

7/16


The first speaker, at 9.15am was Martin Gottschall of UFO QLD, who spokeon Multiple Realities, often referred to as the Higher or Lower Octaves ofmanifestation in Esoteric teachings. Our physical reality is just one example.

Then at 11am Kathy Scarborough SA Spoke on Investigate before youvaccinate. Kathy presented research findings that show vaccines are ineffectiveand detrimental to health.

After the lunch break [12.30-1.30pm] at 1.45pm Debbie Payne SA [AURA]addressed the gathering on the Australian Disclosure Project and just how muchinformation was held by the Australian Government on the subject of UFOs.

Debbie was followed at 3.30pm by one Rex Gilroy of Blue Mountains UFOResearch Club from NSW, who gave his characteristic excellent slide talk onParanormal Mountains, which concerned the Blue Mountains, from its unknowndinosaur fossil evidence through to our mystery animals, such as the Thylacine,Blue Mountains Lion, Australian Panther, giant monitor lizard etc, evidence ofpre-Aboriginal Stone-Age races, including the Yowie/Homo erectus, and moving onto the URU civilisation, ancient astronauts, past and present UFO sightings andalien abductions, time-travel experiences and the American underground secret

space technology bases in the Burragorang and two other remote areas on theBlue Mountains.

Tea was at 7.15pm, the surprise speaker at this time being Dawn Andersen,unquestionably one of Australias foremost researchers into the extinct Thylacine.Her South Australian etc research confirms those of Heather and I in EasternAustralia. Dawn had wanted to meet me for years and we certainly had much totalk about over the next couple of days.

The Sunday speakers began at 9.15am with Sheryl Gottschall, UFO Qld, whogave a great talk on Species Shift. This presentation explored how the westernmind is being triggered by anomalous experiences such as ET contact.

11am saw Kevin Robb SA Australian Cosmic Connection, speak on Letting goof all fear from Abductee to Enlightenment. Kevin showed photos of UFOs andspoke of his personal experience.

Lunch at 12.30-1.30pm with sandwiches with love was followed by GlennysMackay at 1.45pm of Qld [QUFON] addressed us on Spiritual Awareness, aperspective on the life of a Spiritual Mediums close encounters of many kinds. Hermessage was that we are not alone.

3.30pm Mary Rodwell WA [ACERN] gave a fascinating talk on Awakening, inwhich she shared the reality of the Star, Crystal and Indigo children. Mary and theGilroys spent a good deal of time together during which she gave us anautographed copy of her latest book Awakening, which concerns ET contact and

the many forms in which it manifests itself highly recommended reading!At 5.15 Jeff Fausch SA spoke on Paranormal Field Investigators. He

presented some fantastic video footage of orbs, ghosts, and poltergeist activitywithin the Old Adelaide Gaol, St Cecilias Church in Peterborough and cemeteryinvestigations.

Tea was at 7.15pm at which the hall buzzed with conversations on a myriadof paranormal subjects!

Monday saw Heather and I heading up into the Adelaide Hills to the BBQ,which was held at the home of Kevin and Vanessa Robb. Here Dawn Andersenpresented me with he complete files on her lifetimes research into the Tasmanian

Tiger [Thylacine], including hair samples of one of these extinct marsupials, whichdespite academic denials, persist in being seen in remote regions Australia-wide!We felt very honoured that Dawn should entrust he lifes work in our hands and herresearch findings will be an invaluable aid in all our future Thylacine investigations.

I could not help myself, and as the Robb property is alongside a dirt road onMt Magnificent, I went for a walk to photograph scenery. It was not very longbefore I picked up a rock bearing Phoenician script, then another, another etc.,until I ended up with a dozen inscribed slabs, mostly votive offering messages for along vanished shrine or temple to Baal that had to have stood nearby. The area isgold-bearing and situated 30miles north of the Murray River mouth, suggesting a

mining colony had been established by middle-east mineral-seeking explorershereabouts around 4,000 years ago. Afterwards Kevin and I washed them in hissink, while we made plans to return here in 2006 for a detailed investigation of thearea.

After the BBQ was over, everyone went their separate ways, and the Gilroys,having a great time at this conference, headed north for the Flinders Ranges,where important new discoveries of the ancient mineral-seekers awaited us.

New Fossil Hominid finds at Katoomba and Kings Tableland.By Rex Gilroy. Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006.

As 2005 ended and 2006 began, three important fossil discoveries weremade which have filled in further gaps in our knowledge of the true firstAustralians Homo erectus and his forefathers!

However, I shall first digress back to January 1st 2005, when, a walk out onNarrow Neck plateau resulted in the discovery of a small hominid brain endocast. Afew days later, in the same area on January 7th I recovered the mineralised skull ofa proto-Homo erectus, which despite its poor condition and some distortion,

possessed the remains of a pointed sagittal crest, something to date unknown inany Homo erectus skull type found by me. This fossil came from the very basedeposits of the Pleistocene period 2-3m surface strata that covers the Upper BlueMountains, and which the Narrow Neck fire trail exposes down to its base of 2million years ago where the Pliocene period ends. This means that the proto-Homoerectus skull represents a race ancestral to archaic Homo erectus whoimmediately followed it.

I have wondered ever since if I might ever be lucky enough to find furtherevidence of this proto-Homo erectus and now it appears I have!

Yet just before this latest find, there was another of considerable significance

in the evolutionary development of modern humans [Homo sapiens] from theirlate Homo erectus forefather.Archaic Homo erectus, like his proto-Homo erectus forefather, besides the

long, narrow skull which identifies such skull-types [ie doliocephalic had a flattishcranium, whereas, the late form developed a gradually higher cranium with areceding forehead which the archaics lack. In time the late Homo erectus skullbecame rounder and the forehead developed, until our present [brachiocephalic]round-skulled form when we became Homo sapiens.So far I had been finding specimens suggesting the earliest archaic Homo sapienskull-types [at least on the Blue Mountains] dated back around 500,000-400,000years BP [Before Present]. However, the latest fossil about to be described

suggests that the changeover from erectus into sapiens began much earlier inAustralia than in Asia/Europe/Africa, at somewhere around 1 million to 800,000years BP!

*****On the afternoon of Tuesday 20th December 2005 while breaking in our new

field assistant, Kathryn McLoghry [from the Central Coast and a member of MoiraMcGhees group], I attempted to show her a remote Uru temple site, situated indense scrub out on the Neck.

Unfortunately I misjudged the direction to take and we ended up battling ourway through dense, scratchy bottlebrush and other generally difficult-to-get-through shrubbery. It was also very hot too, and our water supply was low.

Finally I decided to give up for Kathryns sake and relocate the site myselflater on before showing her next time. So leading her onto an old walking trackthat I knew to be nearby, we began our way back to the fire trail that goes the full

11

distance of Narrow Neck. Had it not been for mistaking the direction to the templesite, we would not have made our big discovery.At one point, looking down at the ground I spotted an oddly-shaped ironstone rock.Picking it up I immediately saw that it was a hominid skull dome minus the browridges!

The specimen had a very high dome as in early Homo sapien skulls while

displaying a longish, narrow formation, despite some flattening of the left cranialside through distortion in the early stages of burial. I realised that, thanks to takingKathryn out for the training session, we had discovered a remarkable fossil,because I realised that this skull dome possessed the longish skull of a Homoerectus while possessing a high cranium of Homo sapiens. Here was anintermediate form between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens! In the flattisharchaic erectus skulls the brains were situated behind the eyes, but once thecranium evolved upwards the brains gradually shifted to their present situation.

The cranium measures 14.7cm in length by 7.5cm in available depth by 8.5cm inwidth.

Although the strata in which it had rested had long ago been washed away,

there is no doubt that it was the same Pleistocene strata that continued directly tothe east, separated from the cranium site by a gully. For various reasons thisparticular strata places the fossil at around or just under 1 million to 800,000 yearsBP. This strata is the upper half of the entire Pleistocene 2 million years old bedsthat the fire trail cuts through. For some years in the vicinity of the future proto-Homo erectus skull find I had been finding numbers of very primitive dawn tools,or eoliths, and wondered who their makers might be. We now know that theywere made by proto-Homo erectus and his later relatives.

Kathryn and I made it back to Heather waiting with the car at the WaterBoard gate, where Heather had a good supply of drinks for us, which was good,

seeing that we had just about used up our last of our water.Kathryn however was a good sport and despite the unexpectedly over hotday that it turned out to be for us, it was well worth the effort. Kathryn caught onimmediately to the art of finding faded rock engravings, even discovering Uruglyphs that Greg Foster and I had completely overlooked at a large altar site, andwas thrilled with finding her very first rock scripts. Soon we shall begin work onsome major sites on the Central Coast-Blue Mountains [but when its not so hot]and I anticipate Kathryn will be making some great discoveries!

Meanwhile, the cranium we found has been given the name of the Gilroy-McLoghry skull and now takes an important place in the Gilroy fossil hominidcollection.

*****On New Years Day I felt lucky and decided we should drive Cuddles out to

the Water Board Gate for a walk on the fire trail. However, due to the bushfiredanger we found signs saying that all hiking tracks were closed for the time being.So deciding to walk down the steep section of road that we had just driven up, Isoon found a small endocast of a hominid skull facial section. It was a very poorlypreserved specimen however. Yet upon reaching the base of the road I spotted alarge lump of pebble-encrusted ironstone. The sun cast a shadow on it at this timeand I spotted two eye sockets. Upon picking It up I realised I had seen this stone onthe ground many times over the last several years, and that I was holding a largehominid skull endocast! In fact, with the skull bones in place the fossil would haveresembled the proto-Homo erectus skull just described. |this fossil had originatedfrom the nearby Pleistocene strata that follows the road all the way out the end ofNarrow Neck, and came from the same deposit level as the January 7 th 2005 skull.

12


13/16


This find convinces me that I have an endocast and fossil skull of a definiteseparate form to the [later] Homo erectus proper. I now wonder if I shall ever fill upthe gap that now exists between this 2 million year old race and the 7 million yearold Bega district ancestral hominid skull endocast, found by me on May 7 th lastyear. So it seems many more surprises yet await discovery!

The endocast is 22.5cm in length by 20.5cm in width across the orbital area, where

there are suggestions of former thick projecting brow ridges. The skull endocast is11cm in depth. The eye sockets are 2cm apart, measuring 5cm tall by 6cm inwidth. The face projected. The rear of the cranium is missing, but had it beenintact, would have shown a hominid with a large skull. These features parallelthose of the earlier proto-Homo erectus skull, suggesting the owners of these skullswere somewhat strong, muscular individuals of up to 6ft [ie about 1.83m].

*****However, Cuddles was still in the hot car and had yet to have her walk, so we

decided to drive down to Wentworth Falls and out onto Kings Tableland Road. Herewe stopped while I walked her along an old roadside bush track that I have been onbefore. However, it was not long before I spotted a strange lump of ironstone

projecting from the ground. Digging it up I cleaned the dirt from it to discover I washolding the brain endocast of a small hominid. The fossil displays the outline ofboth hemispheres and resembles the small brain endocast form Katoomba GoldCourse, discovered by me on December 28th 2003. The Katoomba brain endocasthas some skull material attached and is around 1 million years old. The Kings

Tableland fossil looks about the same age.To find two important hominid fossils in one day is luck indeed, and is a good

omen I feel, that points to more big discoveries of all sorts of things in the comingyear!

Back in July 2004 on Narrow Neck fire trail I recovered a 500,000 year old

mineralised brain endocast of an adult hominid, thus bringing the total number ofbrain endocasts in my anthropological collection to four, thus nobody can claimthat I dont have any brains!

Collectively all these fossils, and many more, gathered by me over the years,demonstrate that Australias fossil human past is far older than what we have beentraditionally taught. Indeed, it would now appear that ancestral hominids werewalking on two legs here long before their ancestors left the trees in Africa. Thus,we must begin thinking Out of Australia, rather than Out of Africa for ourmodern human origins.
