One of Jandamarra's last captures as an ally of the white settlers was an Aboriginal elder named Ellemarra. Ellemarra gave him the choice to join his people and fight the settlers or be forever shunned by them. He persuaded Jandamarra to become a rebel and join the fight against the white settlers. Jandamarra accepted and shot his police partner in the head. He fled with Ellemarra and became a thorn in the side of the white cattlemen and law enforcement. He participated in raiding, looting, stealing rifles & ammo and running off with cattle --even the occassional killing.
He knew the Napier Range with it's thousands of Gorges and caves and was very good at evading capture. He was known as a Jalgangurru--a man with spiritual powers who could disappear, transform into a bird and shield himself from deadly weapons. Some of his favorite places to hide were deep inside Windjana Gorge and going underground into the Tunnel Creek, which is where he was said to disappear.
What his pursuers didn't know was that Tunnel Creek had more than two openings and he hid inside the tunnel where no one else could find him. He was finally tracked down and killed on April 1, 1897 when the police brought in another Aboriginal tracker, Mingo Mick, who had equally legendary powers.
Jandamarra's head was removed from his lifeless body and sent to England--which is kind of what they did in those days. His body was never found but his head was returned. It's said that he haunts Tunnel Creek and native women still refuse to go into it because of the spirits that are supposedly there.
These photos were taken in Tunnel Creek and the orbs in the first two photos only showed up in those photos. There were about fifty other photos taken and the only two that contained orbs were near the entrance to Tunnel Creek. Could be a result of people walking near these areas, or could be signs of paranormal activity. I didn't have an EMF detector or any digital recorders on hand. But I'm not a paranormal investigator.
