Except some of them have been bull-dozed apparently or the stones have been looted years ago - one at gympie the govt was planning to build a road through last time i looked on the site. (no one seems to know about them though..)
Check out the satellite pictures of the gympie pyramid in particular.. definitely looks pyramidal.

I remember reading about such structures in the 70's...(one in particular had the god awful modern soubriqet of The Dinosaurs' Barbie)....apparently permission to excavate was refused by the aboriginal council as these were regarded as sacred sites...though they were older than the people claiming they were sacred.

Odd that there are no pics , the GE 3d view suggeststhat it is not too tall either . A quick search came up with this http://www.skeptica.dk/arkiv_dk2/wheeler.htm which seems more reasonable .

My career in archaeology began at Gympie, when I took my archaeologist sister there to the pyramid and excavated a barrow 1 metre long and found nothing, (as did she). But the scrubby little hill probably grew vegies or grapes for gold-miners in 1800s.
Another legend is that a real, true pyramid was demolished at that time for the railway , but why make extra work for rail builders when the wild bush was wide open? And any burial would have been instantly sensational at the time.
Here is a sensation - of being duped...

Hmm... well, the aerial shots look like pyramids to me. I also think the fallen menhir and gate of the moon structures Gilroy found look interesting. As for governments covering things up - well, i only just found out about the chinese pyramids in xian (they haven't exactly been announced on the tv news as far as i'm aware, which you'd think something that amazing would be); and since they're all around the globe it makes sense that there should be a few in Australia. The NZ Govt seems to be up to no good re: pre-maori archaeological sites... And how come no one ever mentioned the malta temples to me at school (when i studied ancient history) - it seems to be as if the only acknowledged ancient structures are stonehenge and the pyramids - people seem to be selectively (or deliberately?) blind to anything else... Everyone talks about Macchu Picchu for example, but the Ollantaytambo fortress (which looks amazing) and Tiwanaku/Puma Punka - are rarely mentioned...
Each to their own however. I've read that recent excavations have found interesting things at Gympie - on private land however, so probably difficult to get access.

Another example - all the interest in and tourists to Egypt and everyone studies it at school - yet how often is the Osireion mentioned? Possibly the most or one of the most important structures ever discovered there, going on the strange and massive megalithic architecture.. Makes one suspicious people are trying to brush things under the carpet, especially where it mightn't fit in with mainstream or standard theories.
Another example- the massive stones at Baalbeck - how often are they mentioned to kids in history classes at school? And yet surely, they're a pretty significant achievement in the history of the world (since we still couldn't lift them into place, except possibly with an offshore drilling rig crane - but you need water to do that).

It's in South America - near Tiwanaku i think. Here's a webpage for it - although the pictures aren't very good - as well as the stones that look like they've been smashed on the ground, there are many stones still standing which are carved into with amazing precision (I just can't find the webpage again - if i find it i will post it)

Found it, about 1km SW of the main site.

Best views of pyramids are from ground level not aerial .The Chinese pyramids have been known about since at least the 1950's.
Admittedly there is a reluctance to allow western investigators to excavate in the Talkla Makan region but it's down to the individual to find about sites . Most of the supposed NZ problems are due to neo -fascists propogating nonsense .There may well pyramids in Oz but just because they are found in other parts of the globe doesn't make it any more likely than pyramids in the UK .

The China pyramids are of earth , natural or built, but not of cut-rock. They are royal versions of burial mounds, based on big populations.
The Australian sites of Rex Gilroy are clearly in natural rock areas, with no evidence of population or associated structures. The sites are clearly off-level and in the sandstone-granite mountain region where stone shapes are unlimited.
He has translated "inscriptions" thousands of years old of unknown peoples and he is as creative as an Oxford dowser.

I don't know where you get this idea from. You only have to scratch the surface if you're interested and everything is there.
I'm not sure about my metaphor there, anyway, to use yours - it's very easy to lift up the carpet to see what's under it.

On the other hand, there is the unknown story of sea-travel. If Vikings did it in open boats, and horse-tribes commuted across Russia, then all combinations are possible.

See the Portal site pages on Tiwanaku http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=16237
and it's Akapana Pyramid http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=16683
They both lie a little bit north east of Puma Punka - same general area.

I disagree, i think it's easier to spot a pyramid from the air.
And i don't think the general public is made aware of exciting new discoveries in archaeology, or that these things are brought to people's attention enough. Many people have never even heard of the Malta temples, and i can't understand why more of a fuss isn't made about them and other sites in South America.
I think that people are looking at a lot of this stuff, but not really seeing it. I don't think archaeologists understand it as well as they claim to, or have all the answers, which they often talk as if they do. If you don't stand in awe of some of these sites and wonder how people built them, when we couldn't do it today, then i don't think we'll ever understand them.
Things like Yonaguni should make the mainstream news, if only to open up debate about them. Debate about these important sites shouldn't be left exclusively in the hands of academics of one particular field. I think its critical to be totally open minded when dealing with this stuff and i'm not sure if some archaeologists are...

Also if the 'chinese pyramids have been known about since the 1950s', i think you'll find if you walk down a street and ask people if there are pyramids in China, that most people have never heard of them. (and would be interested and surprised to hear of them). Not having been around since the 50s, perhaps i missed it.
Also, i have to say i was surprised to read on certain sites about pyramids in Australia being bulldozed etc; i don't know if it's true; i certainly hope not; but then i also read about some dodgy stuff happening in NZ - you read enough about these 'crazy conspiracy theories' you start to wonder maybe there's something to it. Maybe not. Maybe it's just general disinterest or lack of knowledge about these sites that causes them to be vandalized etc.
I also disagree with your thoughts on Rex Gilroy's site. I think a lot of what's he's discovered may be nothing; but i am definitely curious about those two structures i mentioned earlier, particularly the gate of the moon. (Just saying in your opinion it's natural, doesn't make your right (unless you were there at the time, so you know). Other people are just as entitled to an opinion - particularly if none of us have ever been to the site.) And why not? I feel like there's got to be megaliths in Australia somewhere since they're all over the globe.

Perhaps there's no evidence of a civilization and no other structures remaining because the stones are so old that everything's gone. Ancient cataclysms could have destroyed everything except a few standing stones....
Perhaps.
