Gday,
Like a lot of people I keep a record of
places I have driven, and draw them on a map, so I can look at it and try and work out where I have to visit next.
I started my map when I was about 15 years old. Back then I drew on a paper map all the
places I have driven on (as a passenger then) since birth by way of lines on the map. I'm on my third paper map now. I still keep the map updated, even though since 2006 I have had a master plotfile of my GPS tracks viewable on my Google Earth index.
Looking at the map, which is predominantly travels in WA, though covers all states except Tasmania, there are some frustratingly noticeable gaps where lines terminate near other lines and gives the impression that the map is somewhat incomplete - Which it is!!!!!
I have three gaps which I am determined to complete before I die (because one should not die with an map with gaps)
These are:
1. From Billiluna to about 30 kilometres east of the WA border on
the Tanami Track (In 1993, I drove from Alice up the Tanami to near the border and back and have passed Billiluna in 2003 and 2010)
2. From Yeo Lakes on the
Anne Beadell Highway to
Neale Junction (In 1995 I drove to the lakes on a day trip from
Laverton, and have passed
Neale Junction in 1997 and 2006)
3. From
Kiwirrkurra to
Mount Webb on the
Gary Junction Road (In 2008 I went north from
Kiwirrkurra from the
Gary Junction Road and in 2005 I drove from
Kings Canyon to
Mount Webb and back over a weekend)
Anyone else have frustrating gaps in their map? Or is it not an issue?
Cheers
Alan
