I don’t believe the picture depicts the actual site – which is accessed via Basin Road and surrounded by barbed wire fencing, accessible via a rural gate. It can be seen from the road, especially after recently mowed, with a tree growing out of the centre of what used to be the bora ring – unfortunately, local word-of-mouth is that the ring was degraded by rural plowing and tree-lopping many generations ago.

I see you said it was marked by 2 dead trees & quite near the road. Is it the right or left going from Samford to Dayboro? About how many Kms/ mtres is it from Winn Rd/Dayboro rd intersection. You said your gps played up that day. I will also try to find the bat cave in Yugar. (Is it under Samford/ Dayboro Rd). I found the Wight mountain Ring thanks to your blog. Very impressive. There are a couple of other sites I have found: There was a boiling mud spring on 63 Graham Rd, & Hawbridge Cnr., one of apparently only in Aus. It was covered in by the council. Theres a little park there you can visit.
Also, on your trip to Beerwah, have you visited the Bora ring or Durm on Johnstone rd. Just past the Matthew Flinders rest area, going north is “Moffat Rd” on right, about 2 kms along, it becomes Johnstone rd in among Pine forests. About 600 mtrs past the Crittendon Rd/ Johnstone intersection is a small side dirt rd on left, There is a sign ‘BORA RING”. This road is between a pine forest paddock on right & Pineapples on the left. RIDE 700 Mtrs & round the corner to right skirting the pine paddock. The ring is about 200 mtres around the corner on left. It is apparently a womens ring. Thanks for sharing your adventures & your very thorough writings.
