The Extraordinary Tourist Crucifix anyone? Wednesday, May 16, 2007 The cross pictured at the right is the main feature of the Eden Valley lookout at Eden Valley, South Australia. A plaque at the site indicates that the lookout is still under development so there could be more to come however there is no explanation anywhere as to the significance of this rather ominous looking cross? Crucifix anyone? It's a very sturdy looking structure surrounded by a few strategically placed picnic tables. One can only wonder as to what it means. Likely it has some religious significance but I don't know what... could be some secular minority practicing some long forgotten Pagan rituals perhaps? If you happen to live at Eden Valley and know what this cross is all about...please show me some enlightenment with a comment.

At the time I visited I couldn't see anything to explain who erected the cross or why it was there. Has a sign has been added since then? If not perhaps someone should consider it - just so tourists, like myself, aren't left wondering. # posted by  TET (David) : April 05, 2008 10:30 AM   Post a Comment << Home Subscribe to my blog feed.     About TET I am South Australian Artist, 'TET' or 'The Extraordinary Tourist'.
