Neither the course nor aspect of the Snowy River described in 'Rivers of
Time' match those elements of the present 'Snowy', or even the river
since settlement of the Great South Land by Aboriginals many thousands
of years ago. The description I gave, and which found echoes in the
thoughts of at least two other subscribers, came from a 'third eye'
experience in which I 'saw' the river thundering across the landscape
which (today) contains the Dalgety Travelling Stock Reserve (TSR). The
torrent was at least two kilometers wide (over a mile) and in places
very deep. The Snowy River before the 1950s (when, gradually, 99% its
flow was redirected west and south) although impressive at times was but
a fraction of the river in my vision.
I now have some evidence that a mighty river did flow over the TSR once
upon a time. Evidence in the form of its two hills of river pebbles
where (by all accounts) there should not be any. Also, very strong
indications of at least two tributaries which still flow south-north -
but underground now - to join the buried relic of the river.
The origin of the third eye vision depends on one's beliefs, I would
think. The discovery of underground rivers (and at least two lakes),
however, relies upon the skill of dowsing, which James Hedley has
enhanced very considerably for me in the last two days.
