Panorama image taken 20 June 09 by Bill Denheld. The rising
ground to south west was considered to be the rising ground in
the Burman photo but found not to be high enough. We then turned
around to face the creek east where on the other side of the
creek a slope has to fit the slope as in the Burman photo below?
But this location does not exhibit even the slightest possibility
to match the scene and is proven negative. In this trial
set up, the creek is to the East and the police tent
would be pitched on
what is now the road. Notice some red flags and posts, they
represent the logs in the Burman Photo. The only problem with
this site is the Eastern slope is too far away ( 120 Metres)
where as the slope we are looking for is calculated to be only 40 metres away
from the photographers tripod camera position if
this site was the Burman photo site.
