This almost unknown catastrophe drowned not only Aboriginal tribes in the coastal lowlands but also swept away unknown numbers of Uruan cities and settlements, wiping away all trace of these culture centres or else burying them under great deposits of silt.

Those erected high up in the mountains fared better. The great super wave changed the coastline, submerging many more culture centres of the Uru, so that today stone roads that have somehow survived the deluge, extend from the present shoreline out for some kilometres into the ocean depths, to megalithic cities that were once thriving Stone Age metropolises before the advent of the Great Wave.

Although the Northern NSW riverlands would have been submerged by the great watery wall, the New England Ranges would have been spared this inundation due to their height, while further south the mighty torrent swept deep inland wherever it found openings in the hills and mountains. In its destructive course it covered the Hunter River flatlands in a mighty sheet of water that penetrated on its northern flank into Scone, dashing itself upon the high slopes of Murrurundi which today marks the southern boundary of the New England plateau.

On its southern flank the wave swept over the gullies of what is now the Putty district, to join its waters inundating the Sydney Basin. Sweeping ever westwards over flats that gave it full reign, into the Goulburn River and the Central West beyond, flooding the countryside over a vast area, entering the Mudgee district to the south, its relentless course only being finally diminished and stopped by the mountain ranges it encountered.

Some of this water could also have found its way further west into the Bathurst district. Birds could fly from the disaster [Emus of course would have had no chance], but all other animal and human life would have been doomed.

Aborigines say a monstrous windstorm accompanied the Great Wave, so strong that it blew over hugetrees and swept tribespeople off their feet into the air! The picture painted is one of a truly monstrous natural event in which huge boulders were swept by the destructive waters to be left in piles, or else were blown from their resting places for considerable distances.

There remains some 60ft [ Much of the wave water to penetrate the Central Queensland flatlands entered the Darling River, which in turn flowed southward into the Murray River, creating more destruction in far western NSW on its course to the South Australian coast near Adelaide where it entered the Indian Ocean. At its epicentre, the Great Wave would have been at its full height and at its most destructive force.
