[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 661415, member: 4012"] That's nothing to do with mining/human activities at all mate, it's a malleefowl mound. I lived in Kal for many years and saw them often in the goldfields environs. If you have a close look at the mulchlike leaf litter/soil material, you should see some shell fragments left by hatched chicks. Fantastic birds, how they manage to survive and breed out there in such a harsh climate, with numerous feral cats, wild dogs, foxes, crows, etc., is almost incomprehensible.
