Artistic Australians Down on the Farm

Crow's Nest Shire Queensland Australia - Someone has been very industrious on Reggie Green's farm in this quiet section of the Darling Downs region. Three pictograms stretching for miles over this beef cattle farm were dug by persons unknown sometime between July and mid August.

The pictograms were first found by Mr. Green when he went on a tour of the back half of his property in mid August. He discovered a shallow trench that had been dug through the thin top soil to expose the orange clay underneath. He followed this trench for approx. 1 mile before it turned to the north and joined up with another.

Mr. Green called local authorities who filed a report of mischievous vandalism since none of the cattle had been harmed. A local land surveyor was called in and he flew over the trench system on August 21st and was surprised to find that the trenches were lines of 3 huge drawing stretching some 10 miles over the property. More mysterious was the fact that these drawings, unlike those of ancient times which depict men or animals, are of a cel-phone, microchip and a handgun. The handgun is incomplete suggesting that time ran out for those who drew it.

So far no one has come forward to accept responsibility for the drawings. It's thought that the person's responsible used a two week period in early August to make the trenches since Mr. Greene was away in Sidney at the time. Experiments with a motor driver handtiller has shown that it is possible for one person to make a trench but that it would take 10 to 15 persons using such devices to make all 3 drawings in the 2 week period it is thought to have been done. Since the shallow trenches pose no threat to his cattle, Mr. Green is leaving them alone.
