3 Hugh Mulgrew who recently suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident near his North Sydney home. Rushed to Royal North Shore Hospital, he spent some time in the spinal unit. However, we are pleased to report that Hugh is now recovering back home and we look forward to seeing him and his wife Lina back at our meetings once hes fully recovered.

THE FLORES HOBBITS AN AUSTRALIAN ORIGIN?

By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 2007.

The discovery in recent times by Australian archaeologists on the Indonesian island of Flores, of 18,000 year old skeletal remains of a race of 1 metre tall hominids, that inhabited the Indonesian islands in the last Ice-Age or Pleistocene period, is currently causing considerable scientific debate. Yet it is becoming clear that these remains, christened Hobbits, are an hitherto unknown race of primitive Homo. A female skeleton of 1 metre height dated 18,000 years old, has received a lot of media attention, while other remains are as late as 12,000 years BP [Before Present]. Older occupation evidence on the island of Flores pushes back the occupation of this tiny race to around 95,000 years. The archaeologists expect to find further remains of what they now call Homo floresiensis on neighbouring islands. There can be no doubt that Homo floresiensis will be shown to have a much earlier origin, but the scientists, in looking to Asia for the answers have overlooked Australia as a possible land of origin for the Hobbits ancestors. From my own researches spanning some 42 years and joined by Heather since 1972, I have uncovered fossil evidence not only demonstrating Homo erectus having been present in Australia going back 2 million years, but that there was considerable diversity in populations as from a study of the mineralised skull-types recovered by me from over a wide area of Australia. Not only were there giant forms, but also pygmy forms of Homo erectus. Readers are by now familiar with the 1 million or so years-old mineralised ironstone partly mummified pygmy hominid head from Essington outside Oberon, found by Mrs Joy Colley some years ago and kindly donated to Heather and I for our researches,. This head matches an identical sized skull endocast from Maryborough, Queensland which was recovered by us from the base gravels of a 25 metre high sloping embankment overlooking the Mary River. This limestone mineralised fossil has been dated to around 400,000-500,000 years old. Both fossils represent a single species which I have now given the scientific name of Homo essingensis. This race was the same height as the Flores beings. The suggestion posed by us is: could the Australian Hobbits have been the ancestral race from which [allowing for regional evolutionary differences] the Flores hominids developed? As time goes on perhaps further Australian fossil finds will add weight to our theory, meanwhile there is other fossil evidence to be considered, in the form of an apparent pygmy Homo erectus race, populations of which inhabited the Sydney district, if not elsewhere in Australia, in the dawn mists of the Pleistocene period. The evidence for this race consists of a small mineralised ironstone skull minus the braincase, recovered by Greg Foster in a western suburbs creek bank deposit dating from the dawn Pleistocene period around 2 million years ago, Beneath this skull is a Pliocene shoal of much harder material than that in which the skull was found. The fossil measures 11cm tall by 12.5cm width and 9cm in length from the thick, projecting brow ridges to the rear of available skull dome. The cranium is flattish, there is a projecting muzzle distorted towards the left and

Blue Mountains UFO Research Club Newsletter April 2007

4 the underside reveals a 4.5cm width dental arch 4cm in length. The remains of four teeth are faintly visible on the left arch. Gregs find is monumental, because it shows that, while proto-Homo erectus [as represented by a skull and endocast of 2 million years age] was present on the Blue Mountains [ie Katoomba where the fossils were recovered], archaic [ie classical] Homo erectus was already present, having evolved from his neighbour at some earlier date. Proto-Homo erectus must have evolved from an earlier form in late Pliocene times [that is perhaps a million years earlier] eventually being replaced by his Homo erectus proper offshoot. Whether Gregs pygmy Homo erectus is the father of the 1 million years onwards Homo essingensis and therefore the great-grandfather of the Flores Hobbits remains to be seen, but it is certainly a tantalising possibility well worth pursuing! Gregs little pygmy erectus is to be christened in the Gilroys forthcoming book the Yowie Living Fossils of the Dreamtime, which largely concerns itself with the anatomical/physiological aspects of the Homo erectus/Yowie. Gregs important find now bears the scientific name Homo erectus fosterii. -0-

ON-GOING MYSTERY

OF THE

BLUE MOUNTAINS UNDERWORLD.

Blue Mountains UFO Research Club Newsletter April 2007

7 No sooner had the Gilroys new book Blue Mountains Triangle Secret Underground Australian/American Bases and the Et Connection been released than it is selling like the proverbial hot cakes! Yet, just after we placed it in the hands of the printers we came into possession of some new and startling accounts which will have to wait for the sequel. These new leads reveal new additions to this already unbelievably vast underworld land and its links with other underground bases elsewhere in Australia as well as in New Zealand. There is some suggestion that a number of people who disappear every year may have ended up in the Blue Mountains and other bases elsewhere in Australia. Some of these people possess technical skills which would be of use to the researchers down below. Some of the new information concerns the possibility that the Burragorang complex in particular may play an important role in connection with the top secret bases believed to have been established by the US military on the Moon and Mars! The mighty mother ship or rather mammoth space community has been seen circling the earth from far out in space again and I observed it on several evenings from my backyard as well as out on Cliff Drive. This space community, fully discussed in our new UFO book, appears to dispatch craft to earth [ie the Burragorang Base] or else spacecraft fly to it from the Blue Mountains and elsewhere. It is certainly a staging area for expeditions beyond earth. There is some activity going on at present in the Burragorang and some Skywatching by our Club could result in sightings of mystery craft there. Some strange manoeuvres have been reported to me by one eyewitness. It seems certain that some sort of technical activity is presently under way there. As I write, I have been informed of some mysterious UFO activity taking place over Glen Davis and the Wolgan Valley, where an underground base entry point is believed to exist. All these and other developments will make interesting reading in the sequel to Blue Mountains Triangle, which will contain further time window incidents and alien abduction cases from Blue Mountains residents and elsewhere. Just after publishing our book, I was informed that a large saucer-type craft, was seen one dawn in December last year, to emerge from the ocean off Nine Mile Beach north of Newcastle. It glowed gold in the early morning sunlight as it zoomed off at great speed, north-west over the Taree district. Similarly, six large silver-glowing craft were claimed seen hovering under cloud level over the ocean just south of Kiama which is in the vicinity of the undersea base discussed in our book. This incident, which was reported in January this year, occurred around 3am. The people who watched the objects, say they remained stationary for several minutes before moving off eastwards to above cloud level to disappear from view. By the time we prepare the sequel to Blue Mountains Triangle we will surely have a lot of new information to add to all the material which we did not include in the first triangle book. In the meantime we will continue to watch the skies for answers to this ongoing mystery. -0-

LOST
OF THE

SCIENCES URU.
By Rex Gilroy Copyright Rex Gilroy 2007.

As I write this article I am preparing a long-planned book on the lost sciences of the URU, the advanced Stone-Age megalithic civilisation which as our book Uru The Lost Civilisation of Australia reveals, was the origin of the Atlantis legend of Plato. The cities and large settlements established by this people, who as the above book points out, were populations of the first modern humans, who evolved here in Australia from Homo erectus, long before their first appearance in Africa, which the scientists tell us, was around 200,000 years ago. New fossil hominid discoveries is pushing back the beginnings of modern humans towards the 1 million years mark, which gives plenty of time for the Uru [as our earliest modern humans called themselves in Australia] plenty of time to have gradually developed what was in effect, the first civilisation on earth, in the form of the megalithic civilisation. They developed a written language by at least 50,000 years ago in the form of picture and symbol writing which survives today only upon rocks around Australia and elsewhere. The name Uru is the root word for Aryan and they would eventually spread their culture out across the earth, influencing the rise of the later Old World cultures, as URU The Lost Civilisation of Australia points out. The reader can pursue these matters at greater length in this book, but for now let us turn to some of the achievements of this people to be covered in the new book I have already written considerably about the megalithic monuments erected by the Uru across Australia, so ancient and weathered that they are often unrecognisable to anyone not involved in this kind of research.

Blue Mountains UFO Research Club Newsletter April 2007

9 Their astronomically-aligned structures often cover hundreds of square metres, even many kilometres. The Bathurst Stonehenge itself covers some 10 square kilometres and there is a perpetual flow of natural earth electricity going through these monuments, which has not changed since the erection of these monuments was completed over 20,000 years ago! Yet to what purpose was this electrical energy put and how was it employed? We would gladly know how this remarkable people created so many wonders with the crude materials available to them, for it is becoming clear that, by around 100,000 years ago they were starting to erect stone circles, alignments and other structures and by 20,000 years ago, if certain rock art and inscriptions are correct, they had developed flight, first in the form of crude hang gliders and then crude, large hot air balloons! They could not develop the wheel, but flight compensated for this, as did their development of large water craft, with which they carried on deep inland trade on long-vanished Ice-Age river systems, as well as by sea. Their knowledge of the medicinal properties of various plants aided their medical science. They grew and harvested certain plants and berry-producing shrubs as part of their agricultural science, which included animal husbandry. Yet the greatest of all mysteries to man people has always been, how the ancients were able to move often massive, even cyclopean rocks, sometimes over great distances, for erections as part of temples, stone alignments etc with no visible means. Ropes and wooden rollers just will not do as an explanation, yet it has always been the favourite of university-based desk experts. The fact is, the Uru sang often massive stones into place, first by lowering the density of each stone to make it lighter [!] before transporting it by, we are shown in inscriptions, levitation! How this was achieved we hope to adequately explain in our book now in preparation ***** The Uruan priestly castes of every major city and settlement are said to have preserved their knowledge in many cases with the use of quartz crystalimpregnated stone altars, whereby they sang their information into the stones. This aspect has some merit, for it is general knowledge today that quartz crystal can receive and transmit sounds. People who have lain , either purposefully or unknowingly upon former Uruan altar stones, have often afterwards reported having heard voices coming from the rocks. These voices spoke in Uruan language, so that if the words can be recorded on the spot, say with pen and paper, it is possible to translate the information via the Uruan written script. It took the author 28 years to translate what I also discovered to be a mother language and it is from this that I am able today to learn what I have so far of this remarkable people and their civilisation. Some of the aspects to be investigated in the new book will be: their attempts at a crude photography; their uses of flight; their places of learning where separate schools were established for the teaching of different subjects and sciences, such as astronomy, medicine, navigation, writing etc. One massive Stone-Age university is currently being mapped out and its thousands of rock scripts being recorded by the authors in the Sydney area. It is far too important to be made known to the general public, lest it fall victim to graffiti carving vandals and others! This people invented the pyramid concept, which was to be spread out across the earth. Uruan pyramidal structures, often formed out of hills which they modified into four-sided structures cover much of Australia and which often have a Sun-worship purpose when not constructed as temple-observatories. The Blue

Blue Mountains UFO Research Club Newsletter April 2007

10 Mountains possesses some of the most ancient Uru cultural evidence in Australia. The authors, assisted by Greg Foster, are currently working upon a natural ziggurat-like rock formation hereabouts, whose summit possesses a crumbled rock structure which was once a Sun-worship temple. Upon its terraced sides are countless astronomical observation messages. This mighty formation was in fact the centrepiece of a city complex of mud and stone dwellings which clustered around the base of the ziggurat and beyond, fresh water being provided by a number of creeks which still flow today. A great causeway leads down one side into a deep gully and which is divided into two terraces upon which are sun and Moon worship/astronomical temples, containing altar stones, rock incriptions [two of which record sightings of a comet] and also small stone images. The Uruans possessed a lengthy pantheon of gods and goddesses, but their principal ones consisted of: the Supreme Being, Ay-I; Earth-Mother Goddess, Nif; and their son and daughter; these were Nim, the Sun-God, and Ara, the Moon Goddess and great open-air temples were raised to them in the granite and basalt regions of the country, such as in the New South Wales far west and New England regions. Many such sites are currently being uncovered by the Gilroys in southern New South Wales. These structures involve often stones of impossible weights, yet they were moved into place! The Blue Mountains structures can also include, those of great sandstone/ironstone rocks, or else they are open sites containing smaller rocks outlining the precincts in which altars occur, but always engraved script exists, often in great profusion nearby. ***** As the new book will point out, the cities of the Uru are gateways to understanding their culture and their achievements. Their philosophical life is covered with extensive attention to their religious philosophies and the role of each deity in their lives. While the more primitive Aborigines who shared the landscape with them sat about chipping crude stone tools, the Uru were erecting massive structures and at night gazing at the heavens which they mapped and wondered how those specks of light, which they believed were other worlds like our own, might be reached. Hence one reason for their development of flight, tens of thousands of years before the Wright Brothers achievement. There is considerable beauty in the Pagan religion of the Uruans and as will be pointed out, their basic beliefs, passed on down through the ages, formed much of the early Christian religion, which still [unknowingly] preserves lost symbols of Uruan Sex worship today! In our quest to reveal as much as possible of the mighty Uru, Heather and I have tracked their monuments to New Zealand [they in fact cover the world!], searched Australia and been assisted by trusty helpers in various parts of the country. Ann Taylor has helped in uncovering open temple sites around Katoomba, such as in the Kanangra area, as has Greg Foster, who has done and continues to do, an incredible job uncovering hidden sites in the urban sprawl regions of Sydney. One wonders what their Sydney region sites and settlements must have looked like, thousands of years before modern civilisation built over the works of Uru. Greg is helping us to record massive temple sites at Kanangra and in the Central West, where city-size settlements always surrounded central megalithic temple complexes. In the past I have written about the Lost City of Kanangra. There are in fact, many lost cities and settlements of this people spread across Australia and
