Oggie,

If I am reading the map right, the track no longer goes past White Well.
If that is the case it has been that way for the last 4 years that I have travelled that section.

Oggie,
Thanks for the info.
This is an image of the Hema Map I have which appears to show and comment on the realignment.

Richard,

The map shows the original track. It has changed and no longer goes pass White Well or Corner Well.

There are signs to guide you on the bypass which rejoins the main track around Snell Pass.

Yes it looks like the bypass mentioned on the Hema map has been bypassed :)

If you look on Google Earth you can see the track heading east from Well 3 then northwards. Its a bit hard to follow after that.

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
