The $1.26 million project, to be called The Henge, will include 101 granite stones arranged in an inner and outer circle, a central altar, and will span 110 feet.

Dubai gets the QE2, the US gets London Bridge, so it is only fair that Australia gets a Stonehenge.

Won't this confuse the aliens when they attempt to land?

Fox News Report Now I have another reason to want to go and see Australia! Vicki - if we ever have the joy and delight of your presence "down under", just bear in mind that I am probably the best person to give you a guided tour of the new "Stonehenge" .why????... because most mornings when I wake up I'm certain that I was there during the original construction - or at least, my clicks and groans seem to signal that!!! Seriously, having visited the original several times, (and I have a photo transparency showing me holding up one the taller leaning stones) I'll be interested to see how the replica turns out - I hope he ensures the correct alignment for the solstices.....

Does this mean the center of the world will turn over?
Up is down and down will be up? //Aside: I was on the Stonehenge site there when one could still roam about, climb on the stones, etc. 1968... Actually, I drove past it the first time. Missed the very little sign. Wife had to turn me around. I blame it on having to drive on the wrong side of the road then. It's the Guy thing - never ask for directions... -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday....
