1934 - ABORIGINAL RELICS. FORBES, Sunday. - An interesting aboriginal relic has been discovered in the Forbes district. A laige grinding stone has been located on Glenmore, the property of Mr. T. Looney, about half a mile north of Mount Raleigh. The stone measures five feet by three and a half feet, and is well grooved where spears of various types have been pointed. A wider groove shows when the tomahawks were sharpened.
