Need Help? How do I find a book? In January , he paid two pounds in rent and three pounds for Mining Surveyor J. Gwynne to survey the block. From to , Cauper was on the Electoral Roll at GHL , working as a miner while preparing his steep, rocky 40 acres to grow fruit. The effort he put into terracing a hillside to form his gardens is impressive even today, although erosion is evident and some of the rocks he placed so carefully have been carted away for landscaping elsewhere. Contrary to rumour, the wall around the Surface Hill church was not formed using these rocks.
During his time in Gympie, Cauper continued to write letters on topics such as greenstone, rust in wheat, cures for mange in horses and how to dam creeks. Tellingly, his descriptions of grafting vines, preserving grape juice, and dealing with the phylloxera insect that was devastating local vineyards reveal his practical knowledge of viticulture.
When his house burnt down in , his lease documents were destroyed and he applied to the government for a replacement. John Cauper left Gympie in the early s, during a period of extremely wet weather. In , the land passed to Richard Edwards, a wood-cutter who was married to another daughter, Mary. MAP 2. After the slaughteryard closed in , the blocks were sold and houses appeared on some of them.
Probably the most controversial of these relics is the Gympie Ape, which was unearthed by farmer Dal Berry in on his nearby property. Some, like Gilroy, believe the statue resembles the Egyptian god Thoth. He says one contained an animal head possibly a dog and another a sunrise symbol and that stone tablets were stolen from the site. Blakemore also reports there was an inlaid flat circle about 30 metres in diameter at the site. Clairvoyant Michael English , who visited the Gympie pyramid site, claims this was originally a vortex used by spacecraft to take off.
However he says it was destroyed when the pyramid was stormed by banana-shaped aircraft, possibly from Atlantis. Amateur archaeologist Marilyn N. Pye allegedly became convinced the Gympie pyramid was evidence the South American Incas had settled in Australia. While British author and retired naval officer, Gavin Menzies, claims the site is direct evidence of Chinese visits to Australia.
Menzies says the pyramid height and structure are typical of Ming Dynasty observation platforms. Science and mathematics teacher Anthony G. Wheeler believes the facts are not strong for a pyramid theory. Instead, the site is an ordinary hill terraced by early Italian immigrants for viticulture, which has been disfigured by erosion and the removal of stones for further use. During the s and early s, Gympie historian Dr Elaine Brown performed an extensive analysis of the site.
She believes it was constructed by a Swiss horticulturalist during the late s. Furthermore, the Gympie pyramid site is sacred land. At one stage the ocean was closer to Gympie than it is now so the Phoenician theory or Egyptian could fit. Its also known as a vortex area so who knows.
