In the WA Goldfields, north of
Coolgardie...apparently. It is mentioned in this trip report
Goldfields trip report but I havent read it in detail to establish rockholes exact position. I am guesing someone will comment soon.
Cheers

Pittosporum
Rock is one of the
places shown on
this map according to the list. That may or may not be a clue.
Greg, I too found that trip report. I read it through but there was insufficient detail about the location, just a mention.
EDIT:
I found Pittosporum
Rock in Ozi. Here are two screenshots, one transposed from Ozi onto
EOTopo 144k and for a larger view onto a zoomed out 1M map:

EDIT:
I've since found Pittosporum
Rock is an ExplorOz Place. Doh!!!
And I'm assuming the
rockhole will be on
the rock or close by, though I suppose it ain't necessarily so.
Cheers

Pittosporum rock(hole)
Pittosporum tree
Pittosporum rock(hole) tree
sorry been away, taken awhile to respond.
The
rockhole pictured. The carvings on the tree. the style and depth shows they were done at the same time. However the style is not the usual "explorer" or "dogger" way. All the followings of Dimer we done since the 70's, he would usually put full name plus initial. These carvings look to have been done very differently to any other tree carvings we've encountered in all our years of travelling. They almost look done by a machine. I should have taken a closer shot to show the gouges that look very mechanical.

The D could be Dimer, a dogger in the 1960s, who left his name in stone at nearby
KurrajongRock.

Hi Frank - Dimer is a good guess; the two brothers have left their mark all over the place around there.
LC - Dont know - BD Clarkson did an expedition in 1864 in the area. Luck and
Carnegie were in the area too. HG Cadby had some pastoral leases in the area.
Ken Newbey named
the rock - I think this his wikipedia entry:
HERE
Although the Hunt Range was named by Clarkson, it didn't appear on any civilian topo maps I could see until 1962 - Newbey named
the rock in 1964, so may have slipped of the government maps at that point - that's about the time R502 government maps came in.
