Hi ck89, I think the photo above belongs with the Place page https://gwulo.com/node/42051, and the photo you posted on that page belongs here.

I look for the Place by searching for "GDL" and some of the text, eg the photo above shows MOFFATTS so I searched for https://gwulo.com/search/node/GDL%20MOFFATTS

Regards, David

Hi David

According to my GPS record, the texts on these two slabs are swapped

I remember crashing through the bush in an attempt at a straight line along the arrow to find Moffats OP several years ago but was unsuccessful. Is Moffats OP the same as Crown Point OP?

That marker is the only reference seen to Moffats OP, whereas there are multiple documents and track markers referring to Crown Point OP. It seems unlikely they are the same place given a different name. I found a large partially filled trench in the vicinity of the power pylon, in the direction shown from the marker, and used this as the reference.
