Hey Wolf, it certainly is a big area and gets a wide range of phenomenon going on in it, Which reminds me,Wolf wrote:That country is huge, just goes on for miles and miles, and the Warrumbungles has plenty of great hideyholes too.
I agree, twould be a great area to spend 12 months researching.
In the early days of this forum Dean mentioned an article in Nexus Magazine so I did a search and found it, take it for what it is, below is what Dean wrote:
Dean H wrote:I remember reading a story in Nexus writen by two guys travelling along the Newell that stopped for a toilet break. The guy who actually wrote the story said he notice something odd in the forest and walked further into the bush to check it out.
As he arrived at the object, he claims it was a manhole cover - in the bush? It was partly open, which was the only reason he noticed it, plus the fact that it was a freak chance that they stopped in this exact loaction (anyone who knows the Piliga will know what I mean).
Once to cover plate was removed, both guys became edgy after discovering not only a well constructed shafted with a ladder, but at the bottom was a well lit tunnel. A Massive big Tunnel, big enough to drive trucks along. It was like a Hwy directly under the Piliga and had lights
One of the guys wanted to investigate further, however the second man smelt danger and refused to go any further. They both returned to their car in total amazement, then drove off. They were never able to find that location again, but the writer swear it's true.
But then again, it WAS written in Nexus!
