I went on a little trip to Cathedral Rocks, about 80k north of my place and inland. (Geologists tell me the highest point is about 300feet below the original surface, so all around must be severly eroded). Cathedral Rocks is, for me, a very wierd place. I always feel a bit strange and after a few hours develop a headache and have to leave.
The main features are large boulders, cliffs and outcrops with bands of white and smokey quartz running through them. At the begining of the track in are three large rounded stones (about 3 - 4 mts high) that look like alien heads (slanty eyes, nostrils with no nose, no mouth big, angular shaped face with large skull) ... freaky!
Anyway, we eventually got up to the top this time assisted by the pegs and chain cemented in place and just before the very top rock there is a small step, under this a little cave that was extremly attracting me.
I knew I had to put my hand in and told the others, I was aked why and said I dont know, perhaps there is a lump of gold in there or a red-bellied black snake ... I just have to do it.
Everyone thought it was a little scarey, not liking the idea of being stuck with me out in the bush with snake bite. I reached in and couldnt feel anything, so reached further, eventually I had to lie down and reach in up to my shoulder, I felt a little rock and pulled it out. When I turned it over it had a nice little smokey quartz crystal attached to it. I said thank you and decided to keep it.
Here is the really wierd thing; when I got home and told people they said; "Go and tell L... about it, he got one from there." I did and he got it pretty much the same way, although it is much larger than mine, and he told me E... got one there too. I went and talked to her and she had a similar story as well, except in her case she put her hand in palm up and the crystal dropped into her palm while her hand was in the hole!
