  1. The Cave at Reynella

    Share Share Post
    It is built of stone and very well roofed. The men noticed that thats the stones at the entrance and those used in building were of large dimensions. It must have taken a great number of men to build it. Human skulls and several bones were unearthed. Several people got the impression that bodies were buried in an upright position. The Cave is about four English miles from this school. Numbers of people from different districts visited it.
