Calling all Aussies ! Remember the old $100 note ?
The Australian one hundred-dollar banknote was first issued in 1984 as a paper note. There have been two different issues of this denomination: initially a very light turquoise blue paper note, and from May 1996, a green polymer note. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/72/100_dollar_note_front.jpg) The old note showed Sir Douglas Mawson, famed Antarctic explorer, depicted in his explorer clothes, in front of a tableau of mountains in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Why put these 2 images together ? Is there a connection to the Antarctic strangeness and that particular geographic area ? Was the new polymer note introduced to obscure a possible connection ? I might have to organize a Gizar expedition some time…

I said WHAT!! .. I hadn’t noticed that Baz .. Now why would “they” do THAT ?..
Count me in .. the Flinders Ranges is not far from me .. Could there be a connection between what Flinders discovered & what Mawson discovered .. Interesting !!
I have heard many stories over the years about something being beneath the earth in the Ranges; and of course I have wondered about Woomera and Maralinga….that the note was released in 1984 may just have been coincidence, but perhaps not. If the note had been meant to memorialize Matthew Flinders then it wasn’t the most obvious way of doing it. Gotta brush up on my camel-riding skills if I’m going to lead an expedition…
Me too Baz .. me too .. I have heard that too .. And as you know .. the Flinders Ranges shakes rattles and rolls on occasions .. I was in the Ranges about 7 weeks ago .. It’s got a vibe .. that’s for sure .. Some THING is there ..
As for Woomera and Maralinga … two of the creepiest joints I have ever visited ..
Bring on the “ships of the desert” and give me a call ..
I kind of like the idea of pith helmets, telescopes and teams of muscular porters…
LOL .. Indiana Jones style ..
I tend less towards the Indiana Jones image and more towards the Julian Clary (flask of gin strapped to my thigh instead of a pistol)
Pre flood and previous magnetic pole configuration, from the last ice age, 12,900 year old land bridge between the continents is my high octane speculation. mountains ~ islands~ planets ~ pyramids. They could easily tell the elevation of underwater features after the advent of satellites and LIDAR. Or I actually just saw a video claiming the shockwave from asteroid impact in the Yucatán penetrated the core and shifted continents on the other side of the globe correspondent to the angle at which it struck.
A buried pyramid in South Australia ? kind of explains the big deal the media was paying a few years ago to the search for Ediacaran fossil sites in the Mid-North….http://www.samuseum.sa.gov.au/explore/museum-galleries/ediacaran-fossils
As my friend @freefall will attest, South Australia has a an interesting (if short) post-settlement history. No convicts, but plenty of German settlers; Lutherans and Anthroposophists. Many S-Aussies have German ancestry and we all can pronounce German names. But the thing that I like is that South Australia was home to not one, but two (!) Nazi political parties before WWII which were banned. The first parliament here took its very first vote on whether German or English should be the language for political and administrative dialogue and consti*tutional business. I remember in the 1980s a small cadre of Nazis marched down the capital’s main thoroughfare and there was a minor social scandal associated with that. Not that we’re a hot-bed of Prussian mystagogues down here, but SA is a weird place. Levenda referred to a diary in one of his books kept by some rat-line escapee which shows two addresses for people/organizations here in SA. I wish I could remember more clearly but one address was for the Croation Association. (Baz needs more beer to jog his memory.) In the 1950s there were captured V2 rockets being displayed at primary schools and public parks !
