Panorama images taken 20 June 09 by Bill Denheld. The rising ground to south west was considered to be the rising ground in the Burman photo but found not to be high enough. We then turned around to face the creek east where on the other side of the creek a slope has to fit the slope in the Burman photo as below? But this is proving negative.  The creek is to the East and the police tent would be pitched on what is now the road. Notice some red flags and posts, they represent the logs in the Burman Photo. As stated the only problem with this site is the Eastern slope is too far away ( 120 Metres) where as the slope is calculated to be only 40 metres away if this site was to conform with the Burman photo1.
