Hello Crew

I have a bit of a map fetish (among others) and have hundreds of them (in digital form).

Was doing my usual thing and writing a report for some work I recently did and came across this dam on a 100k map I was looking at south east of Kalgoorlie



Had to laugh (several times)

I suppose every named feature has some history, some more interesting than others and many not documented. Not sure about other states but Landgate has a website which provides origin of many names of the features shown on maps HERE including a short list of Unusual Western Australian Names. No doubt there are hundreds more.

Cheers
Greg
I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874
