Colson Pinnacle

Yes!, normal GPS co-ordinates - I guess that is WGS84. What ever Google Earth uses - the co-ordinates I gave were taken from Google Earth. Also, I would be interested in any of the co-ords of the sidings or stations along the Original Ghan Railway line. They might improve my Google Earth study that I posted a couple of years ago.

Than You

If you feed your co-ords into Google Maps (http://maps.google.com.au/) the result does not look correct. Maybe Google Maps is wrong. Thanks for the reply anyway,

Cheers.

If it ain't spot on- it must be bleedin' close!!!

Close enough signman put me on top of it in Google earth and raster maps.

Greetings Oldsquizzly and Signman.,

I do not want to make an issue of this but please comment on the following image, and tell me where I am wrong (missing something, simply do not know what I am talking about, or what-ever)!!!!!

Please see :

The northern-most point in NatMap raster maps co-ord,
the eastern-most point is Signman position,
the western-most point is Colson Pinnacle: my guess, with co-ord taken from Google Earth.

Zoom In on Google Earth or the Google Maps web page ... tell me where I am wrong !!!!

Thanks, and cheers ............

Being a "Western" Australian and all, and being a bit slower than you guys over yonder east tha, I would not for a second consider your local and much superior knowledge is beyond dispute and all.

But lets just say my life depended on it and all, which is being risky, as I can't remember properly, if I saw the god damded pinnacle when I passed through the horseshoe bend, I would say that maybe you all, could possibly be a little bit wrong, maybe. In fact if my life depended on it, ya hear now, I would say that the closest of ya, even the main google fairy that updated its info today, was at least out by 300 metres and that if my life depended on it, I would say maybe just a little bit that the pinnacle was near the google postion of 25°17'0.32"S 134°32'9.71"E.

Maybe.

Good day to you now

I get the same off hema rasta in OziExplorer as places. So downloaded height data and sent top Oziexplorer 3D and that still comes up as the highest point at 356 mtrs.
About the only other way is go there with gps and sextant and see what you get standing dead centre on top.
