I love it when a plan comes together!! This guy is a lecturer at the Varsity, so if you wish, you could track him down that route, see if he is willing to sell. A real mine that is :drunks:

No problem on my side, I get excellent resolution - try adjusting your angle of view to more or less 60 degrees w.r.t the horizon. Have you downloaded the latest Googlearth version? :roll:

Not only does this guy have time to dream this up. He also has time to act on it.

Well done Pine. :hangloose: :hangloose:

I was in Stutt again today with a bit of time to kill. Stopped at this spot again and a year later nothing has changed. Except that it wasn't raining this time, so I took a better look. The 2 Bay SCs are actually Fleetlines.
