It’s amazing how many scientists subscribe to uniformitarianism to the point of error.

If the water hadn’t all been tied up as ice (plus, y’know, Australia is a dry-assed place), they could have skipped stones.

“How would one find river/lake/ocean shore rocks worn smooth when it was the Ice Age? Was there ANY open water?”

Over millions of years there were may ancient streams and rivers that were later buried and become desert. So strata with layers of smooth Cobbles can be found just about everywhere in Ravines.

When they decided to start a man cave back then, it was an *actual cave*. I’m kinda jealous.

Got it. Thanks! Never occurred to me that the round stones would’ve been buried. Duh. ;)

Even then it can still be challenging sometimes though. You have to be lucky enough to find a ravine that cut down into a layer of those Cobbles. That is why ancient man had their common quarry locations they had to travel to in order to find the good stuff. And this is why rock was the first bartering currency. Those who couldn’t get to the Quarry had to trade for rock from those who could. :)

I looked it up. There was no widespread ice sheet in Australia. Only a few small sporadic glaciers in the Snowy Mountains and Tasmania, covering less than 1,000 km² combined.
