[QUOTE="NumButs, post: 651513, member: 23208"] Yeah I also heard Tully did a lot of time on his bike cutting laps in the bush - perhaps that thing should be on display in his museum! I was talking to the owner of Signal (Greg maybe?) at Wedderburn who showed me a comparison between his maps and Geovic, which made it look like a kid drew the Geovic maps with crayons. He was telling me they're based off 40+ year old data at a scale of 1:50,000 but his are brand new based off the latest satellite and aerial radar/digital/whiz bang tech at double the scale. I reckon GeoVic is a decent starting point (and they're free!), but they only contain major diggings and miss TONS of the smaller gullies and reefs and they don't show puddlers. I just took a quick look through mine and they all seem to be last published between 1994-2002, so seems as though Signal Greg was telling the truth. Andrew Bayles was there at the time and backed him up afterwards saying he's a legit cartographer/prospector who has spent years surveying in the field and his maps are a massive improvement. So yeah i'm a believer i guess but each to their own. [/QUOTE]
