00:00Welcome to the Great Wall of Jindabyne.
00:03I could call it the Mysterious Wall of Jindabyne
00:05because it's hidden away here on the eastern shores
00:08and it's also mysterious because some people have speculated
00:12that because it runs east-west
00:15that it's a wall built by some ancient civilization
00:18in alignment for some astronomical purposes
00:22in alignment with the sun, the moon, who knows what.
00:25One person, however, who is certain they know
00:28the origins of the wall, is Australia's leading fencing guru
00:32John Pickard.
00:34He is certain that this was a boundary fence built in the mid-1880s.
00:41So does it really run east-west?
00:44I could, of course, use my trusty compass
00:46but you don't need to do that here.
00:48Have a look at the wall on this side.
00:50The southern side of the wall is all the moss growing,
00:53all the lichen and moss on the side of the wall.
00:56On the other side, facing north, which gets all the sun,
01:00there's no moss or lichen.
01:02Don't really need this.
