I don't actually disagree with you, but being picky to the nth degree here :-), does that mean we should only map using DCS NSW Imagery, & treat the DCS Base & Topo maps as gospel? I think we're all agreed that while they're helpful, their Imagery is *wwwaaayyy* out of date, while the others should only be taken as an indication, not definitive. Thanks Graeme
