Hi, ET_Explorer. I didn't actually do anything but thanks anyway. 

I seem to recall that I edited the Subject in my post when I replied to your original post because it had "RE:" a couple of times. Maybe that's why it looks like I reset it.

I'll add a comment to the start of my first reply explaining what has happened. I'll also update the Subject whenever you add a clue or provide the solution but it may take a while as we are on different timezones. I'm not sure yet whether that will affect the subject shown in the forum list though.

For those who found it,  

For those who are still searching, here is a Clue >

Answer to the puzzle

The Whispering Wall of the Barossa Reservoir and Its Amazing Parabola Sound Effect

When the Whispering Wall was built over a 100 years ago, no one had a clue about its amazing acoustic properties. The concrete dam was constructed by about 400 workers over the South Parra River in Barossa Valley between 1899 and 1902. The dam holds back the 4,515-mega liter Barossa reservoir that supplies water to several areas in southern Australia. The Whispering Wall has always been famous – the 9 storey structure was the first arch dam to be constructed in the region and at one point, the highest in all of Australia. But little did the builders know about the hidden properties of the engineering marvel they had created.

Sorry, ET_Explorer, but I can't change the subject text after all. Maybe one of the moderators can do it.

This is interesting. I can change the title in the original when in edit mode (as I suspect you can too), but when I published the edit it had not changed. However, all of the responses now have the title change included. Interesting and strange.  One small thing oGEC did better than nGEC.

EDIT: The initial post title correction finally "took". Success at last. 

Oops, I got as far as seeing you couldn't do it seefit, and tried it myself.  I didn't see the change in your post, but it seemed to work when I tried it.  Then I saw Hill's response, so I'm not sure who changed it in the end!

This reminds me of the whispering gallery in Saint-Paul's Cathedral.
