That’s another one
John That is very easy, It’s in the
Simpson Desert, Northern Territory section.
We first discovered it back in 2005 and back then there were 3 grinding stones near the
old wurlie, and I only told one other person where it was.
He claim he told no living sole, yet within a couple of years the grinders were gone.
I will now put it back on you, it was near a once very important Aboriginal
native soak. Do you know the aboriginal name for the soak, and who was the first European to discover it? And how was the soak ruined?

Stephen is correct. The photo shows an Aboriginal Wiltja (Wirlie) in the
Simpson Desert. This feature is marked on some maps and appears in
Places. It is located near the
Hay River Track.
The nearby soak is
Kilpatha Aboriginal
Well. The
well was visited by Augustus Poeppel and Larry Wells in 1884 and by David Lindsay in 1886. The
well was ruined by an oil exploration company bulldozer.

Did you also know that the eastern dune overlooking
Kilpatha was an important aboriginal burial grounds.
Also when we were there in 2005 dingoes had dug a large hole down the bottom on the now ruined
well and the soil was quite damp.

Yes, it is
Walga Rock in WA.
Bonus points for anyone who can explain the drawing of a ship in an aboriginal
art gallery 300 km inland.
