Thanks Peter. Is the base plate of the pump still present? Did they cap the bore shaft or has the whole lot been removed?

Thanks

Sorry Mick I didn't look in that much detail. It's widely reported as not being there, nearby signs have "no water" written on them and I didn't see anything. I wrote the comment from the ExplorOz App so didn't realise there was a forum thread about it until I found this by accident.

No worries Pete. Hopefully I'll be out that way again next year and will check it out for myself.

All the best and safe travels for the year ahead.
