Police have returned to Belanglo State Forest in the New South Wales southern highlands after the discovery of skeletal remains.
A group of trail bike riders found the bones at about 3:00pm on Sunday, 29 August 2010.
A caller to Macquarie Radio, who gave his name as Andrew, says he was one of the people who found the bones.
He said the remains included a skull and looked too big to be those of an animal.
“Initially we weren’t sure until we walked a bit further into the scrub and behind the log we actually found a skull,” he said.
“So that’s when we called the police. We were definitely sure that they were human then.”
The area is where Ivan Milat dumped the bodies of seven backpackers he murdered in the 1990s.
———————————————
Doesn’t matter where they try and hide the bodies, someone will eventually find the remains and call it in. Foraging animals will dig them up and scatter the bones, torrential rain will create rivulets on the forest floor and partially expose some bones.
Trail bike riders eh ? They are usually having fun ripping along established dirt tracks and fire access trails through the forest, concentrating on the next 20 meters ahead to avoid ruts, large rocks, sand and animals.
Definitely NOT looking left and right with peripheral vision limited by the helmet and visor, admiring the trees and looking for skulls.
The group probably stopped for a rest, only to have an unplanned crime scene as part of the weekend fun day out.
First body to be discovered in that forest was by a jogger and his dog – the dog that pawed at a hole until his exasperated owner came back to check. “Oh. Human bones eh ? Come along Fido, I have to make a phone call NOW.”
Funny how these things happen – but…… everything happens for a reason.

Women die in rollover near whale watching site
Two women have been killed in a car rollover near a whale watching area in the far west of South Australia.
Police say another motorist reported the crashed vehicle about 9:20am today after coming across it on a road near the Eyre Highway, about 300 kilometres west of Ceduna, on the Nullabor Plain.
Both women were found in the wreckage.
Police say the road leads to a whale viewing area that is off the highway.
It has been confirmed that two women inside the car had died at the scene.
However, police cannot say how long the vehicle had been there.
Authorities are investigating.
———————————————————–
Jamieson has driven that route across the death zone (don’t swerve) , salt water showers from artesian bores in a motel and special extra foam soaps, drinking water in a flask.
Got time to kill ? Yep. Chat with the Main Roads repair guys from their nearby fenced quarters and Petrol Station attendants in the car park.
UFOs ? Google Madurah Western Australia.
Yep – every night. Car roll-overs : every 2 days. What do you expect from 160 km of dead straight highway out in the desert ? DEAD straight. Kangaroo strikes twice a day.
Pay attention…..That’s why there are many signs.

It is a shocking commentary on Australian Politics when the Prime Minister can be deposed in a few hours.
Imagine if Hu JT could be replaced by Wen JB before breakfast in just one day. The Australian Labor Party and Party Caucus have made a grave error in my opinion.
Losing Rudd as Prime Minister is a catastrophe.
Can Julia say “Good Morning” in Chinese to our Number One export market folks ? I think not.
And stop referring to Australia as “This Country”, as if it was someone else’s country. It’s “Our Country or My Country”.
Making Mr Rudd our newest Foreign Minister (from the Back Bench) is an excellent idea. Some people in Australian Politics quite frankly don’t know shit from clay, organising his downfall.
As you can clearly see, I am very disappointed, hopefully Labor will win the next Federal Election in October 2010 and put this know-nothing newbie back in her place. As Mr. Rudd said, he will contest the Federal seat of Griffith at this election.
Fingers crossed !

Customs sorry for jailing man over shampoo
Posted Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:40am AEST
Customs says it will apologise to a Darwin man who spent three nights in jail for bringing bottles of shampoo and conditioner into Australia.
Neil Parry was arrested last Friday at Darwin Airport after a test allegedly found he had 1.6 kilograms of MDMA, also known as ecstasy, in his toiletries.
His boat and the houses of two of his friends were also searched by police.
Mr Parry was given bail after posting $10,000 surety.
But further testing on Wednesday revealed the substances were just shampoo and conditioner and all charges were dropped yesterday morning.
Customs says it will write to Mr Parry to express its regrets.
Mr Parry says the incident has ruined his reputation and he is considering legal action.
—————————————-
They will ‘write’ ?
Mr. Parry, it’s time to pick up your cheque for 1.8 million dollars from the Cashier on the 2nd floor.
Three nights in jail, unlawful imprisonment, deprivation of liberty, spending time with other grubby offenders in a cell just because Australian Customs fucked up and it took them 3 days to analyse the Shampoo ?
Heads must roll, and there is a clear need to make someone an example over this.

Stranded Canadian man cuts down power poles in rescue bid
A man stranded in the Canadian wilds used an axe to cut down four power poles hoping to draw attention to his plight.
The line was the only conduit providing electricity to 1,200 in the isolated community of Wollaston Lake, some 800 kilometres north of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Western Canada.
Within 24 hours, SaskPower sent a crew in a helicopter to survey the area.
“They discovered four downed power poles and a man who was very happy to see us,” SaskPower spokesman James Parker said.
“He was desperate to be discovered,” he said.
“He had been up at the lake for a number of days and got stranded in rough weather.” With no food, “he decided to chop down the four power poles to alert the community and SaskPower that he was up there”.
“He understood that someone would try to determine the cause of the outage.”
Mr Parker said the SaskPower crew escorted him to safety.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokeswoman Christine Niemczyk said the man was “safe and back at home”.
Power to the community has been restored, but the wooden poles will have to be replaced.
“We do not encourage this sort of thing because you have live wires and someone can be electrocuted,” Mr Parker said.
“But we understand that in this situation this man was desperate and felt he had to do this to survive.”

Excellent work mate !
I would have done exactly the same – but if you were equipped with a $40 axe, then why not a $240 EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicator Radio Beacon – location to a 100 x 100 Square Metre slot in 5 minutes) in the inner vest to keep it warm at body temperature?
Replacing the 4 power poles and cabling would cost maybe $10,000 CAD (time & materials). I hope he doesn’t get the bill – he’s alive.

Went to the great Slut of the East (Shanghai) from the Paradise of Suzhou - yesterday to and fro.
Not a bad train trip, Uniformed, twin gloved Chinese girlies ramping up the throttles in the Driver Slot in front to 247 km/h on a straight, so stable I could fill out a crossword on the fold out table.
At Speed, dear reader ~ they've taken me at 300 km/h ++ on the twin tracks in Jiangsu Province.
31 RMB each way = $6 AUD for a 80 km one way. Try that back in St. Elsewhere!
That's one area that China positively glows, trains on time and No fucking around. Three minutes late and... you missed the train mate.
Platform slaves with loud whistles maintaining order.
Jamieson and another Taiwanese guy lunged at a 2 year old kidlet experimenting on the guard rails with her "Oh. I'm on another platform ! " and restored her to the parents.
The 'First Class' compartment was nice, bit of leg room - but the usual frantic get off and 170 metre taxi queue back in the 'Zhou was expected, along with the French folks in the line.
Anyway, after a nice chat with my Finnish chap at Kakadu <restaurant in Shanghai> we decided a few things over a few hours.
I like that, informal and trusted. Denmark and Bornholm (pop.6000).

“Missing toddler reunited with parents
A toddler has been reunited with his parents after being found sitting on a doorstep at Horsham in western Victoria.
The two-and-a-half-year-old boy was discovered outside a house on Kalkee Road just before 8:00am.
Police say the toddler’s mother came to collect him from the Horsham Police Station about 11:00am.
Senior Constable Karolyn Formosa says the boy was in good spirits.

It reminds me. Hark, I remember. I was undergoing training with the Royal Australian Air Force at Laverton , Victoria (Australia) 1980. I’d decided to go to the city <Melbourne> for a nice dinner with mates, get dressed up, ties and slacks etc.
On the way back at say, midnight-ish I took the Point Cook freeway turn-off. Brake, slow down, prepare for a stop & right turn, lights on High Beam. WTF is that ?
A toddler, singlet and nappy walking on the off-ramp toward oncoming cars at midnight +. Whoa ! Stop, flashers on, scoop up the baby and take her on board, ferried to the nearest Petrol Station to call the Police by staff.
I waited until Protective Services arrived. Suddenly there were ummm, 5 Police cars in the forecourt of the Petrol Station, minutes. Picture a swarm of Blue and Red flashing lights.
The Cashier vouched my story, quick pleasant interview with the Cops - then the frantic mother arrived, claimed her baby and the Mother got a blistering mouthful from Madam Mobile Constable.
“A stranger picks up your child running on the road ?”
<I’m not a f**king stranger, well, yes, I was at that time.>
Case closed. I swear this is my true story. I was only nineteen.

Well, fortunately I found Visual Basic 6.0 Portable Edition on the Web. It works like I always knew, my years of using VB6 Professional linked to ummmm, Oracle, Access, Excel, MS-Word, SQL Server, SMS engines, Radio Modems, Printer port manipulation to provide 24 line programming lines via shift registers, weather stations, Anologue to Digital Converters for strain guages on the bolts of a huge rotating ore crushing mill by radio link etc etc etc.
Having VB6 back under my wing is like welcoming a best mate to my home for a BBQ, a few beers and a swim in the backyard pool.
Don’t let the “Basic” in VB fool you. It is FAR from Basic, never underestimate it. Next phase for review is Fast USB port manipulation.
In the meantime, I’m ripping up pavement with a Laser Security system, based on VB6 and a Chinese SMS messaging protocol.
Doesn’t matter if you can’t view this, trust me…. the source code is in English, and I’ll work it out.
Meanwhile, Latest project :
Images are deliberately distorted.
I wonder if this system is better than the best I have ever done. From many aspects, yes. SMS Modem Control, I’d write the code in bed, simple Ascii characters and Unicode for Chinese Characters…. watch out. 2 weeks, but USB from VB6 is an illegitimate brother, we need to fight.
Things are coming in to place, finally. Now I can do complex things in China – that I did with ease in Australia.
As I’ve previously mentioned, it’s not how you develop software, it’s how you lock down .exe files and put up cookies and death throes with auto-delete files, Date use-by info. There are ways.
Who’d thought I’d be writing Software for excellence in Chinese – in China ?

Do you have bi-party Democracy ? Do you have an Opposition Shadow Government ? Can you call your Prime Minister an idiot in public and not get dragged away and imprisoned ?
Enough for today. Whew, I’m exhausted.

Some State(s) in Australia are contemplating a 30 km/h speed limit in suburban areas as I type.
It’s already 50 km/h on a suburban street to brake when a ball bounces in front of the car – what happens next ? Kids chase the ball on to the street. You lock up the brakes, or else.
30 km/h ? OK, if it saves the lives of our most innocent and naive members of our society.
Jamieson has spoken.

Disgraced former federal court judge Marcus Einfeld has lost an appeal against the jail sentence he is serving for lying to avoid a speeding fine.
In March 2009, Einfeld was jailed for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three after he admitted lying under oath and trying to pervert the course of justice to avoid the $77 fine.
He had claimed his car was being driven by American academic Teresa Brennan when it was clocked speeding in August 2006. She had died in 2003.
Part of Einfeld’s grounds for appeal were that he has long term bipolar disorder that was undiagnosed and untreated at the time of his sentencing.
The full bench of the Supreme Court in Sydney granted him leave to appeal
The court heard one of the judges on the bench would have reduced his sentence by six months but the other two would not, so the appeal was dismissed.
Their judgement rejected some of the evidence presented by a psychiatrist at Einfeld’s appeal.
It upheld an assessment of the seriousness of his offence based on his status as a barrister and former judge of a superior court.
“The ability of such conduct to strike at public confidence in the integrity of the system of justice was properly given significant weight,” the judgement said.
Marcus Einfeld was not in court. He will be eligible for parole in March 2011.
Since his conviction the 71-year-old has been struck off the roll of legal practitioners, lost his Queen’s Counsel Commission and had his Order Of Australia award rescinded.
Got his reward for lying to the Goy. $77. You can think for me.
I hope they have special jails for Executives and Federal Court Judges. Even the Top Jew has to face the music. $77 FFS, that’s in the wallet right now ! Pocket change……

Australian Jewish community leader jailed for perjury
March 20, 2009
SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) – A former Australian federal judge and a high-profile member of the Jewish community has been jailed for at least two years for perjury.
Marcus Einfeld was sentenced in the New South Wales Supreme Court on Friday to three years jail with a minimum non-parole period of two years for lying to avoid paying a $52 speeding fine. Justice Bruce James said Einfeld’s “deliberate premeditated perjury” was “part of a planned criminal activity”.
Einfeld, 69, is a former executive member of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies, councillor of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry and patron of the Australian Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Descendants.
Once a leading human rights lawyer and U.N. peace laureate, Einfeld swore under oath that a woman – who, it transpired, was already dead – was driving his car when it was flagged for a traffic offense in 2006. Einfeld, who later pleaded guilty, is the son of the late Sydney Einfeld, a former Labor Party lawmaker and NSW government minister and former president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.

OK. Let’s get one thing straight. I have minor issues with Jewish people who fantasise that they are above the Goy Law but I also have significant concern issues with Muslim people who also fantasise that they are also above the law of the land where they live.
In my experience, I enjoyed my revenge against Jewish interests – read interest on money. I was a classic Rich Dad, Poor Dad club member. $100,000 income a year, yet still resorting to pay-day loans @ 640% p.a. somehow approved by the Australian Government.
So, I offered my “services” as a software developer to build a new package for my Jewish client to manage the scaling and gutting of the middle and lower class income earners that pandered to him.
Dear Reader, 640% per annum ? I did some “work” for this character with fortnightly progress payments on the project. More than enough to recover the interest payments paid to “this character”. I was so happy to receive thousands in fees, my money back.
I established a new database and designed in a triple stream. Sneaky. Income level <$25,000 then interest is 640% p.a., $25,000~$50,000 is 640% p.a. $50,000 > is still 640% p.a.
Forget to mention, there was a time bomb.
Got my personal revenge on Citibank, Westpac Bank and small time lenders by declaring bankruptcy with nothing repaid.
Early Bankruptcy declared, advised by account manager - 3 years vs 5 years. Screwed myself for credit (in Australia) but I don’t and won’t need credit. Visa Debit Card…. ever heard of that ?
“Oh, it’s the cost of money”. The cost of money ?
Still finding a way to avoid paying interest and investing in assets.
I’m satisfied with thousands of dollars in revenge achieved so far. You deceive me, I’ll deceive you. Yes, exploitation of the semi-ignorant, but suddenly, I gain, you lose.
