Special thanks to Heather Gilroy and all those whohave helped in the production of Out of the

Dreamtime The Search for Australasias UnknownAnimals.By Rex Gilroy.

As the release of our landmark book on Australian Cryptozoology draws near Iwould like to extend my thanks to everyone who has assisted us in this monumentalproject which has taken up so much of our time for the past five years.

Firstly, the creation of this book has been largely the work of my devoted wifeand Number One field assistant, Heather, who has manned the computer daily totransfer my typed manuscripts for each chapter to disk. And then there have been theplacing of 830 photos and the typing up of all the often lengthy captions that I hadprepared to accompany all these photos. These captions contain extra sightings reportsto go with the well over 3,000 case histories dealing with a wide variety of creatures,both land, sea and air.

Heather has shown her expertise in recreating giant moas feeding on the EglintonValley grassland in New Zealands South Island, only the scene in the photo is real. Whoknows, perhaps one day we just might snap the picture of a lifetime of a living extinctmoa in a similar situation on one of our New Zealand expeditions!

She accomplished a similar job, creating a mysterious New Guinea giant emubeside a native figure sketched by me.

And then there have been field searches, both to obtain locality photos aswell as any fresh evidence on a host of mystery land and coastal creatures. On anumber of these searches, assisted by our other field assistant, our webmaster, GregFoster. We have been lucky in turning up Australian panther tracks which we haveproduced plaster casts of. Together with Greg we have accomplished an incredibleamount of field work. Greg and I have uncovered giant and other fossil hominidfootprints in the Blue Mountains and Greg recently discovered fresh Yowie footprints at a

Central Coast location, after which we made plaster casts of these.Were it not for Gregs much valued assistance many discoveries important to thisand other books of ours to appear in the not too distant future, would not have beenpossible. Greg is assisting us in other aspects of our work of course, but these concernour other forthcoming books on the Yowie and other mystery creatures, Uru megalithicsites and other archaeological work.

Greg has accomplished fantastic results in his creation of our Websites, whichhave brought much overseas attention to the Gilroys and their researches,demonstrating at the same time to overseas researchers, the wealth ofCryptozoological, Relict hominological, palaeoanthropological and archaeologicalevidence to be found throughout Australia and its island neighbours.

Andrew Leese is another computer wizard who has done some highly appreciated

book cover designs for the Gilroys [including some future books]. His cover design forOut of the Dreamtime The search for Australasias Unknown Animals, based upon anidea of mine, is superb.

Our south coast New South Wales field assistants, Antji and Allan Westrip, havebeen of immense assistance, taking heather and I into the far south coast backblocks toinvestigate localities of mystery animal and hominid sightings, in the course of whichAntji and I have uncovered such important relics as the endocast of a giant hominid atleast 350,000 years old in the Wadbilliga wilderness. This was the first [almostcomplete] endocast skull-type found anywhere in the world and was later followed by asecond equally huge example in the same vicinity as the first. These are to be seen inthe relict hominid section of our book.If there is anyone we have forgotten, please accept this big THANK YOU, for helping tomake our latest and important book the success that it will become

*****And now a word about our new book

Out of the Dreamtime is divided into parts, each containing varyingnumbers of chapters dealing with various mystery creatures. For example, there

3


4/11

is the section dealing with marsupial mysteries, which covers the Australianpanther, Blue mountains Lion and other mysterious marsupial carnivores, aswell as the extinct Thylacine. There is a big section dealing with reptilianmonsters both sea and land-dwelling, which includes sightings of the extinctAustralian Monitor, Megalania prisca; giant size sea and land snakes; livingplesiosaurs in Australian and west pacific waters, such as along our coastline, theHawkesbury River etc., in New Zealand, island Melanesia, New Guinea andelsewhere, together with living neodinosaurs from the Malaysian region and

New Guinea, as well as Australia where the reader will meet the dreadedBurrunjor of ancient Aboriginal tradition in northern Australia, and whichmodern-day people claim to have seen, or else found their tracks. What isBurrunjor? The descriptions of this/these reptiles is that of a bipedal creaturewho carries off cattle, Aborigines and other lone travellers in the wilds of our farnorth!

The book also contains sections on mystery sea monsters such as thegiant squid and octupi, and the extinct 80ft or so length giant shark,Carcharadon megalodon [ancestor of the White Pointer] ; there are othermystery sea creatures covered, such as the Coelocanth, giant rays, giant sealsand other fishy mysteries; the section on giant flightless birds contains chapters

on giant emus of Australia and New Guinea, the extinct moas of New Zealandand among other sections there is the one covering relict hominids which wouldmake up a book on its own.

This is all in this book; giant hominids, lost pygmy tribes of the BlueMountains and elsewhere; Yowies and Rexbeast giants; giant reptiles; still-surviving dinosaurs, giant eagles, nightmarish man-swallowing gigantic snakes,living giant New Zealand [and smaller] moas; panthers, lions, tigers [sorry noDrop Bears!] of our vast wildernesses and more, much more.

flightless birds of Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. There are chapters ongiant eagles, giant land and sea snakes, the extinct giant Australian monitorlizard [Megalania prisca], plesiosaur-type sea creatures in Australasian waters,particularly along the Australian, New Guinea to New Zealand coasts, includingthe Hawkesbury River Monster [ie plesiosaur] encounters; neodinosaurs in NewGuinea and southeast Asia. There are chapters of the giant extinct shark,Carcharodon megalodon, giant squids, giant octopi, and living coelacanth reportsfrom the Australian east coast. The section on relict hominids of Australia, New

Guinea,/island Melanesia and New Zealand covers enough chapters to make abook in itself, and there are many, many more surprises in this monster-sizebook, already seen as the bible of Australian Cryptozoology. No other book likeit, for sheer size and scope has ever been published before. It will showCryptozoologists worldwide what Australia and its island neighbours have to offerin way of mysterious unknown species.

This book gives the reader some idea of the countless adventures sharedby Rex and Heather in their Australia-wide and New Zealand field investigations,all of which have not been without their hardships, in order to uncover evidenceof such creatures as living moas in New Zealand, the so-called big cats [ie giantmarsupial cats] or the Blue Mountains and other parts of Australia; the extinct

Tasmanian Tiger on the Australian mainland., lost pygmy tribes of Australia,giant-size hominids and of course the Yowie.

The book carries a strong conservation message with good advice forfuture budding Cryptozoologists. It has been the most challenging and difficultbook so far produced by the Gilroys, an exhausting undertaking which has paidoff with what Rex sees as a masterpiece of Australian Cryptozoological researchfindings. URU Publications will announce the release date and price details soon.

Spaniards Were Here Before Cook!By Rex Gilroy. Copyright Rex Gilroy 2006.

Tales of a great southern continent rich in gold and other treasures,already many centuries old, inspired kings of Spain to equip expeditions tolocate, and claim it for Holy Spain throughout the 16th century.

In past club bulletins I have written of various finds made in Australia forgenerations supporting Spanish contacts, even long-term colonisation attempts.

Greg Foster discovered a set of Spanish Latin doodle inscriptions [a form ofshorthand used by Spanish and Portuguese during the 15th to 17th centuries] on acreek leading into the Parramatta River in 2002 bearing the year 1595,suggesting Spanish explorer-colonists had ventured up the Parramatta River.

The translation of the inscription read: We of the galleon Santa Barbara,of 51 crew for Holy Spain, in search of gold, together with the San Felippe, with51 crewmen, San Jeronimo, with 57 crew, Santa Catalina and Santa Isabel with57 crew each, sailed in search of the West Land* of gold, on April 9th 1595,Alvaro Mendana de Neyra of the San Jeronimo our leader [Separated we sailedon]. We claim this land for Holy Spain.

Santa Barbara and Santa Isabel were the names of two of Mendanas fiveship leet which became separated in the Ellis Islands during his search forAustralia. The fate of these vessels is unknown to historians, although Gregs findsuggests that they found our shores, entering Sydney Harbour 178 years beforeCooks voyage of discovery to our east coast [1770].

Other finds made by the author well before that, in the Willoughbyarea, suggested that a colony had been established in Sydney harbour wellbefore 1595.

A Latin inscription, with the image of a galleon, was found on Monday 3rd

February 2003 at this site it reads:Lopes de Vega landed here in the Santa Isabel. Our gold we buried inland

to the west [of here] in a deep hole.This implies that the Spaniards had sailed somewhere along our coast to

locate gold-bearing deposits, either somewhere to our north, or south coasts,and for some reason buried their wealth somewhere in the Willoughby area. Ifthis is so some wealthy North Shore residents house probably now sits on top ofit!

On that same day, I located another inscription beside a creek, it read:Isabel and Barbara viva! The Galleons dropped anchor three years ago in thisland, claimed by the sign of the Cross, by Lopez de Vega of the ship Isabel forHoly Spain. Engraved by Nunez.

Lopez de Vega is famous as Mendanas second in command who vanished

with the Santa Isabel. It is now very likely that the Santa Isabel and SantaBarbara found they had been preceded by an earlier colonisation expedition,which had established itself on the Parramatta River, but which had beenabandoned for some reason prior to de Vegas arrival.

On Thursday 6th July 2006 Heather , myself and Greg visited a site in theParramatta region discovered by him recently, and which contains an unknownnumber of Spanish letterings, ship engravings and other traces of an earliersettlement attempt. Upon a sandstone slab I uncovered fading Latin script inarchaic letterings and a date. I afterwards translated it to read:

Upon this place on the river [this message declares] homes are to be built

for the settlement. Declared by Juan Eolla on the 5

th

day of June 1551 in thepresence of the people.While exploring rocks for further script Greg stumbled upon a large human

face, carved in relief out of a cliffside. It measured 50cm in height by 27cm inwidth and stands near further Spanish script. As the Spanish inscriptions are

8/11

scattered up to a mile in length it is certain that a large settlement of men,women and children had been established here.

Greg and I have already established the existence of a Spanishcolony, founded at Gosford in 1515, as from a discovery in March 2003 on amountain summit. This convinces us that the Spaniards were no mere casual oraccidental visitors to our shores, and that they came vary close to permanentlysettling Australia. How different our history might have been had this happened.

But what made them abandon these settlements?

The fact is that the Spanish government had over-extended its resourcesand it was expensive to operate their colonies in the Americas, particularly in thewake of European wars that they had to fight. In Australias case their coloniesbecame more and more isolated from their South American government, whichgradually lost interest in establishing far-flung colonies. These they appear tohave abandoned in favour of the Philippines.

It is likely also that the growing number of Aborigines gradually led to theabandonment of these farming colonies of the Central Coast and Sydney region,in the wake of continuing attacks by the tribesmen, the colonists heading for thePhilippines.

Greg and I are still a long way from learning the full story from all the rock

inscriptions we have yet to record, but whatever we find will only strengthen theevidence for the presence of Spanish colonists in the Sydney district generationsbefore the birth of Captain James Cook RN!

Return of the Mystery Giant Space Station.Following our last meeting a number of club members carried out a Skywatch,

which for the first time I decided would be on the grounds of the nearby Katoomba golfclub.

So together with cuddles John Lodge, Warren Jenkins and other we braved thecold to keep an eye on the eastern sky where I have seen a number of strange lightslately, and as reported in a previous bulletin, a light aircraft disappeared into a cloud

and did not emerge.We split into two groups [or did certain people get lost in the dark?]. The time was

around 7.30pm when we spotted a bright object beyond the earths atmosphere in thewestern sky. My binoculars picked it up clearly, it was the mysterious gigantic spacestation not seen for some months, and which often carries out manoeuvrers in theheavens covering considerable distances, as reported in previous club bulletins.

Our enthusiasm was to be quickly dampened however, as clouds closed in fromthe east and we had to abandon the Skywatch. Better luck [with the weather] next time!

Meanwhile Greg foster has been having some luck lately from his home inBlacktown.If anyone else has had any sightings lately, we all would like to hear about them at themeeting.

Blue Mountains Triangleby Rex Gilroy.

As just about everyone knows by now, I will be speaking at the Queensland UFOConference in Brisbane, to be held on Saturday-Sunday September 30th/1st October,organised by Sheryl and Martin Gottschall. [I am speaking on the Saturday].

The subject of my talk will be Blue Mountains Triangle and I am preparing thetalk now with new illustrations for the slide I will be presenting.

This talk will concern the many mysterious alien abductions, disappearances ofpeople and aircraft

over the years within the vast region covered by the Triangle and the greatunderground Blue Mountains top-secret US-Australian Advanced space travel technologyresearch base will be shown to be playing a part in much of the mysterious phenomenagoing on throughout the region.

Much new material will be used by me in this talk. The forthcoming UFO book is acomplete departure from our first, and is the first of others I plan to produce in thefuture on various aspects of the Australian UFO scene. You can expect some bigsurprises.

*****Despite denials from defence officials over the years, mystery lights still appear in theBurragorang and Wollemi wildernesses, and strange craft are seen to emerge from, orfly into certain parts of these areas. My talk will reveal among other things, that theseentrances are well camouflaged with sliding doors which slide open and close.

Some campers in recent yeas have reported having observed saucer and otherstrange craft to emerge from, or fly into certain gullies, but which upon inspectionshowed nothing. Obviously these craft disappear into underground camouflagedentrances.

The vast underground complexes are far more extensive than previouslysuspected, and every effort is being made by both the Australian and American militaryto keep people well clear of these areas. That patrols by armed troops ensure that nounauthorised people get anywhere near these operations is well known, and somehikers and campers who have inadvertently met up with these armed troops have beenfired upon. Some who have been caught have been taken away never to be seen again.

There is the recent case of the UFO which passed over Narrow Neck Plateaucoming in from the north at low altitude, and which crashed into the north side of theridge, behind which lies one of the Burragorang entrances. This incident, which occurred

at night, was observed by sightseers out on the narrow Neck dirt road as it flew low overthem, to crash in the distance. At first light military helicopters were seen by otherpeople, to drop troops into the crash site, cables were attached to wreckage, and after anumber of flights back and forth over the ridge, the wreckage was obviously removed.

This has happened with other aircraft which have mysteriously crashed when flying tooclose to the base area!

A Mr Darren Griffin of Hornsby New South Wales, back in 1974 visited me at mythen Mt York Natural History Museum at Mt Victoria. An avid bushwalker, he spoke ofmany things he had seen in the bush over the years. On one occasion, out in theNewnes forest country, camping one night with friends, they were woken from theirsleeping bags at the sound of a very loud explosion. The treetops were lit up by amassive glowing object, which exploded in a deep swampland gully some distance

away.At the time we thought a large passenger aircraft had crashed, but the density

of the forest made any investigation at night impossible for us. We attempted to reachthe crash site at first light. The whole area was silent, no bird sounds. Reaching a clifftopoverlooking the gully, we were met by thick, swirling mist. It was eerie.

We worked our way down a steep swampy slope but could see nothing in thatmist, nor could we see any signs of burnt scrub or scorched earth, so we all got out ofthat place. Another thing, we discovered our compasses were going haywire.

There were no newspaper or other media mention of any aircraft disappearingover the Blue Mountains at the time to my knowledge, he said.

This incident, which happened in January 1964, occurred at the time of another

flap of UFO reports on the Blue Mountains.About August 1970 a UFO was claimed to have crashed in the Wollemi scrub.People descended on the locality, which was inland from Putty, but apart from anextensive area of burnt trees and shrubbery on the edge of a swamp, nothing more wasfound.

The late Don Boyd, former editor of Psychic Australian Magazine, once informedme of an incident which took place in 1978, between Denman and Muswellbrook, whena family visited a UFO next on a property. In the vicinity of a 30ft [about 9.14m]circular deep depression on a farmers back property, they found embedded in driedsandy soil, the indistinct impressions of three slim-looking bodies with portions of legsand arms visible, and the indistinct impressions of heads, which the people said later,sort of resembled those heads of space aliens you seen in books!

The Denman-Muswellbrook area falls just within the northern border of the BlueMountains Triangle. From about here it extends southward along Mulgoa and thesouthern highlands to Goulburn, from where its western border region extendsnorthwards up to Mudgee. The epicentre of much of the activity to be covered in myBrisbane talk being concentrated in the Burragorang-Wollemi region.

My talk will cover such mysteries as a swirling mass of mater with a back holeinto which some light aircraft flyershave claimed to have been drawn,and which upon emerging on theother side, have found themselveshundreds of kilometres from wherethey should be!

The Gilroy talk will covertime window abductions as wellas revealing other startlingdisclosures. This talk will mark my50th anniversary as an UFOlogist [it

make me feel old!] so Heather and I hope to see everyone able to attend thisconference, which promises to be enjoyable as all the Gottschall conferences are.

.Next Issue:

More surprises, and of course your valuable reports.

Our previous meeting was a huge success and we lookforward to seeing another big roll-up at our next one. There

should be some good Skywatches ahead of us up here atKatoomba, weather permitting.

Meanwhile, theres a lot happening up there at presentso,

until our next meeting

Watch the Skies!
