Hello Friends,
This week’s spooky story
for Halloween is about a place called Wycliffe Well. There you will find
statues of green aliens standing outside their pyramid spaceship. Another
feature is a wall of mural artwork showing UFO’s flying through outer space.
Earthlings are also welcome too.
Wycliffe Well is the
self-proclaimed UFO capital of Australia. It also claims to be one of the 5 top
hot spots in the world to see UFO’s. Yet, I wasn’t successful in finding much
information about UFO’s here.
One reason could be that Wycliffe Well is a small and isolated place in the red center of Australia. It’s in the middle of nowhere. People originally settled at Wycliffe Well when a water well was dug to provide water for cattle that were on the move to graze native grasses and bushes, once called stock routes.
Today, Wycliffe Well
mostly consists of a fuel station and a holiday park for caravans and camping. Located
about 380 kilometers north of Alice Springs, Wycliffe Well seems like a place to
stop for food and fuel on the way to somewhere else.
The second reason for the lack of UFO information
could be the presence of a military base near Alice Springs. It’s a joint defense facility shared by Australia and United States Government agencies
including the famous ones known by acronym names (I’m not typing them). A
secret facility that does global surveillance and spying. So, I guess lots of people
chasing UFO’s in the region wouldn’t be a good thing. Or are the UFO’s chasing
the military? I don’t know. But the Nevada Desert in America is another place
known for having a military base and alleged to have UFO’s.

Back in Wycliffe Well, some people say you have to be unlucky not to see a UFO in the night sky. Some other ET experiences include being chasing in the car by a UFO. Rectangular and cigar-shaped spaceships have been seen. Watch the video to see the green alien statues and the restaurant wall with the UFO artwork.
Wycliffe Well as a world-wide, UFO hot spot
remains a mystery to me. But it’s an interesting story about what happens in
the red-desert, heartland of Australia a long way from the big cities. Could be scary!

Alien Street Art Post
From 2019, come and see the Alien artwork chalked on the footpath in the city of Fremantle, Western Australia. I was very curious, and my imagination conjured up thoughts about the fall of Atlantis/Lemuria/Mu and the end of days marked by the arrival of the people from the stars. Here's the LINK
Hello Friends,
With Halloween drawing near, I thought it was time to get out the spooky stories.
Let’s start in Western Australia, my home state.
This week we’re off to the Fremantle Prison which opened in 1855.
1859 watercolor painting of the Main Cell Block, by Henry Wray
The old jail is located in the port city of Fremantle which is 11 km south of the state capital of Perth. It was built for British convicts/criminals that were sent to Australia by sailing ship.
It started as a home where
the first convicts lived. These people had done minor crimes in England and
were punished with short sentences in jail, in another country. They
were used as laborers to construct the city’s buildings, roads, and infrastructure.
Over time, violent and
dangerous convicts with long jail sentences were sent there. Laboring work
outside the prison was no longer allowed. There were various gruesome
punishments for bad behavior. In 1888, they built a way to give the ultimate
punishment to prisoners.
The Gallows.
Death by hanging.
During the life of the
prison, 43 men and 1 woman were executed.
Another unpleasant part
of the prison’s record was a Governor who was tyrannical and harsh.
The newly restored prison gatehouse in 2005
Today, Fremantle Prison is one of the most haunted places in Australia. The hard life of the criminals and their executions didn’t rest easy with history.
Strange, ghostly happenings experienced inside the jail include rattling sounds, footsteps and voices. People have taken photos inside the Gallows room and discovered they appear headless in the images.
Once I tried to visit the Fremantle Prison
myself. When my car got close, I felt the unhappy vibes still locked in the
colonial buildings. I couldn’t make myself get any closer and drove away.
Over the years, I’ve
spoken to people in my town who’ve visited the old jail. Most of them said they
got a reaction in the Gallow’s room. They felt uneasy in the stomach, or
turned cold, or wanted to leave the room straight away. Some have been touched
by an invisible presence or even been pushed against the wall.
For spooky tourists, the
Fremantle Prison has a nigh time, torchlight tour to explore the darker side of
history. There is also a Tunnel Tour where you can climb down ladders to
beneath the old jail and visit the labyrinth of tunnels built by prisoners.
Ghostly, if you dare.
Take care,

Hello Friends,
This week I wanted to
return to Uluru, the big red rock in the center of Australia, which is a sacred
place for the traditional owners—the Anangu People.
The Field of Lights is a
beautiful light show that happens after the sun goes down. International
artist, Bruce Munro, created the light show in the desert country with Uluru in
the background. Field of Lights consists of over 50,000 solar powered globes.
The exhibition opened in April 2016 and brought life and color to the arid
landscape.
The artwork was named, Tili
Wiru Tjuta Nyakutjaku, meaning looking at lots of beautiful lights. The exhibition
was meant to be temporary. However, due to the success in bringing the raw and
eerie beauty of the desert to life, Field of Lights continues. It’s something
unique and magnificent.
Watch the video.
Fields of Light Uluru is award winning art that
was made by many hands. It connects people to landscape. The next multi-million-dollar
light show to be created by Bruce Munro in central Australia will be at King’s
Canyon resort, which is located over 300 kilometers away from Uluru. There will
be 69 light towers made of 220 bottles filled with fiber optic cables. The
light towers will be taller than an average human. There will also be sound
from many voices coming together. The artwork is planned to open in April 2023.
In these desert skies, there is no light pollution. I’m sure Light Towers will
be something special too.

Uluru has been in the
news recently, and for this Part One post I’ll talk about the rains. In early June, the big rock was covered in cloud and took on an
eerie, translucent appearance…
Australia is an ancient
land with the big red rock in its desert center. In recent years, messages have
been sent out from Uluru which is located inside the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National

Hello Friends,
“Ticket to Paradise” is
a movie to take you away from the everyday to a peaceful island paradise. The rom-com
movie features two couples and what happens on the island. The first couple,
Georgia and David Cotton, are played by actors, Julia Roberts and George
Clooney. They were the reason I watched the movie. As a divorced couple, they
had a snarky relationship, sniping and being sarcastic to each other, which did
wear thin for me. But I was happy to see them acting together again.
The second couple was
made up of an American college graduate who is the daughter of the first
couple. Lily quickly falls in love with an island man (Balinese), called Gede.
Gede’s family farms seaweed for a living right beside the ocean which I found
interesting to learn about.
Lily and Gede want to
get married, but Lily’s parents are going to try and stop the wedding. Principal
photography took place in Australia during c-virus times. Watch this movie for
paradise escapism, the young couple falling in love, and seeing Julia and
George on screen again.
