A few Waterholes in the Great Victoria Desert

Hi there,

Here a few waterholes that I recently came across in the north western part of the GVD.
I've been chasing Peter Muir around again, most of these have been sourced from his writings. All have been entered into the places system unless stated.

The first couple will be more easily accessible if you use the Sholl Range Track.



This plot starts from Wonganoo and ends just past Mulga Queen on the Bandya Banjawarn Road.

Both of these locations are adjacent to the track.
Seven Sisters Gnammas


Gnamma


We tried to find Muir's Hidden waterhole near the range south east of Seven Sisters however, even though we found this one, I'm not sure if it is the right one (not in places)



There is a huge rockhole just south of Mount Waite.

This plot should help guide you there from the main road, please get permission.


The next couple use the Jerrys Bore Track (that's what I call it anyway, it joins the previously mentioned track).



I found this one using GoogleEarth, not sure if it has an official name but for now have called it Windy Hole (it was extremely windy).



Paiyari is a great rockhole at the base of an outcrop. There are also other pools above the rockhole.

Wakulyakutjarra is on the Urarey Warren Bore Road. It is an underground rockhole. In the past there was a windmill and tank here as the remains are still here.



Back near the Great Central Road I noticed Gnamal Rockholes were not in their indicated position on the map so I have corrected this in places.

This one is one Carnegie and Luck visited and perhaps Hann as well. Muir also visited it. This Hann inscription was here when Muir was here. This one is not in places. I spent two or three hours looking for this one, around hills, over boulders, using landforms to guide me only to find an old disused track leading to it.



Cheers
Alan
