Following David and Michelles advice I've been loading up Bores and Tanks to the
Places Directory.
If anyone has a photo of the
Bore and
Tank at the Northern end of
Lake Auld where the Wapet Track commences from the Telfer
Mine Road/Kidson Track, would the mind going
here and uploading the photo. It's the
water point marked on the Hema GDT north west sheet only a few km west of the "Rocky Knoll" on the Wapet Road.
As at late July 08, the
bore was unserviceable and the
tank empty. NOT to be relied on as a
water source.
Cheers
Mick.

Mick,
We travelled past there on the 13/6/08 and camped below the rocky knoll.
We went into the
bore but found it very overgrown, we were able to fill
water tanks at that time.
I didn't take a photo but I've E mailed my other travelling companions to see if they have one.
I'll let you know.

Cheers Kev
we were there a month after you on 21 July this year and found the
tank empty and the
windmill disconnected. We camped below the knoll as
well in an effort to escape that relentless easterly. I've just loaded the knoll as a place as
well.
Here it is. We got there late so only had limited photos. You may have a better shot of the Knoll?
Appreciate it muchly
Mick.

Should have known you'd have one Willem lol. That's her. She's not working now. Even the camels were looking a bit disgruntled this year. Have you loaded it up?

Yep.
Razor blade bore is already loaded. Richard and Willem, have you considered loading those other tanks to
places. Where are they? Far north of the Kidson/Wapet?

I didn't really see the one just before the Kidson Track turnoff in 06. But I was told that it had
water in it that year.
Razorblade
Bore was rebuilt a few months before I was there.

And this
Mike the problem
Places has changed for the worst (to me) and is now harder to fine things, I have loaded 1000s of photos and words, but have no list of them and have to try and remember what they where .. that a hard task .. LOL
Wind mill & tank

Yeah you're right Richard. I'm keeping a record of the ones I etiher submit, or update. It's the only way. I floated the idea to Damien at the EO team in an email last night that perhaps the photos we loaded could find there way into a folder on the members profile Gallery like the ones from the
Blogs and posts do. We'll see what they think?
Cheers
