Tonight, the Sleeping Giant is still smoking - and, still, no one can say for sure why.
In fact, it seems that the smoke may be increasing, visible even from the George Price highway.
Tonight we take a dive into speculation, both wild and outlandish, as we ask what's really happening with the southern giant.
It's been almost a week since smoke started rising ominously from the Sleeping Giant.
It's been called an anomaly, one that a joint team from the Geology and Petroleum, and forestry departments will trek up the hill tomorrow to investigate.
But right about now down here in the realm of speculation it might seem like the giant is waking up.
And while many believe something fell from the sky or they're waiting for the ground to open up as it did in H.G. Wells the War of the Worlds, right now all we have is smoke, and a fire that cannot be sourced.
Is it a burning bush - with depths unknown? Or do we all just have to hope that our friendly Giant still has his heart
This cellphone video captured today shows the fire at a distance from its origin point and seemingly headed uphill. One neighbor told us, quote: "The winds might be steering it, it seems to be following the ridge rather than spreading out."
7News will be awaiting the descent of the team of experts and we hope to bring you some conclusive answers on Monday.
