History
This
location is steeped in history. Before European settlement this
location was used as a watering hole for local Aboriginal tribes in the
area. After European settlement it became a local focal point for people
to meet and enjoy the tranquil surrounds. Picnickers made their way
here, families with children wanting to "get out of town" and have some
fun.
More recently it has
become a place for bird watchers and bush-walkers to enjoy, with an
abundance of birds and local flora and fauna, it is a picturesque
setting for an investigation.
Dead
Man's Billabong also contains a dark side, with stories of people
drowning in the Billabong,and near by murders. The most notable drowning
was of Mr Richards, whose body went undiscovered for sometime.
Investigation
Eidolon
Paranormal realised early into the research and site scouting that
this would be a tough investigation to go ahead with as the size of the
area is so large.We decided to stake out the southern end of the
Billabong where there are remnants of what appeared to be an old damn
wall, this gave us an excellent view over the water and surrounding
trees.
In
future investigations at this site we may choose this location again as
the height gives a superior view, however, we may ask some other teams
to join us here to cover more ground as results seem promising
