Bollard Man

As you stroll through the Screw Creek Trail you will notice a number of bollards placed hither and tither. Since being discovered in 1984 these bollards have been the subject of intense archeological interest and speculation. Recent carbon dating has revealed their age to be in the vicinity of 75,000 years old, predating even the Aboriginal inhabitants of this part of Victoria. It is now widely accepted in the scientific community that these bollards were erected by a primitive human species, possibly as some sort of religious worship site. The presence of QR codes on the bollards suggest some sort of early written form of communication was in use at the time. Human remains have been found below bollards 18 & 25, hinting at their use on some sort of sacrificial ceremony.

​

Bollard Man (homo-bollardis), as the creators of the bollards have been referred to in academic circles, remains a mystery. Why did they erect these bollards in ancient Inverloch? Who were their gods? And what became of them? 

 

Consider these questions as you walk the Screw Creek Trail.
