offer up a sacrifice, or tribute of hob or stone to the good spirit of that part, & that is why the natives do not know who built them, because they were commenced years before, & are lost in the mighty past or dream time.
It appears to me that they correspond with the BORA grounds, that Mr Lindsay Black writes so interestingly about, in his book so beautifully illustrated with photos of trees, with all sorts of designs most evenly cut, & each one probably has a meaning.
They are much the same to me as are trees in the BURIAL GROUNDS in Central & North East NSW. We saw some in BOOROLONG near ARMIDALE when we were lads.
But in our part of Queensland 'Port Curtis', when a man dies they first of all put his body up on a stage, about 6 to 8 feet high & when the body decomposes they put the bones into a hollow tree thro a hole cut into the tree
