Re: "Spot the Spot"

I think I might keep my nose out of this thread, its getting harder and harder to find a pic (I need to get out more :wink: ) This one should be pretty easy, but just to make sure I have supplied a couple of examples.

Are these two different Gorges in the West Macdonnells? the second picture looks like Redbank Gorge, the first Ormiston Gorge Maybe.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Both supposed to be of the same place, but looking at my photos you could be right ops: . They are supposed to be of Redbank.

They could both be Redbank, i dont have a simalar pic to the first one to campare to so only going af a fuzzy memory. I will take it that i am near enough and its my turn.

It should be easy to work this one out, i would be interested to know if anyone knows the answer without the help of Mr Google, and also if anyone else has actually been here? It is on private property so access can be a problem.

Yes, but its a bit more than that, and it has a specific name.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Is it one of the Customs Posts? I know there is one just upstream (and around a few bends) from Lock 6 (I think). When I was a kid we used to go on House Boat holidays upstream from Renmark. The houseboats where an old style paddle wheel through a group called Liba Liba which I think was an aboriginal name for Lagoon or some bird.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Your in about the right spot, maybe a bit further upstream than you are suggesting, you are missing a crucial piece of information and of course the actual name of the place, which will probably surprise many people that they don,t know about this one.

Yep the Liba Liba houseboats with the paddle wheel powered by a holden red motor are a fantastic way to relax on the river. we have travelled on these a number of times.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

How about, then, the Border Cliffs Customs House as I believe that is the area that we went near altough I've never been to the Customs House so it' more of a guess than anything. I suspect I may be wrong as I can not see a building of any sorts altough it may no longer exists and it's just a locailty.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

The customs house is certainly still there, and you are getting closer but it is not at the customs house.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Ok then, well Google maps says this place that I'm thinking of is called Murtho. It's not on but close to the SA/Vic border so I assume this is not thr correct spot. I assume you mean further upstream at the Vic/NSW/SA border.

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Yep the customs house is at Murtho, and my picture is of the intersection of SA,VIC, and NSW although there is actually a slight deviation in the border where it crosses the river so it is only NSW and Vic where this post is, there is another post on the other side of the river as well with SA marked on it. All the other state intersections have a name though, and so does this one. Give me the name and its your turn

Re: "Spot the Spot"

Based on the markings on the post and the fact that the Murray itself is technically in NSW, I guess the post is on the Vic side.

No idea of the naming, haven't been there either. I'm sure google will cough up the name soon enough
