Coordinate error

edit

{{geodata-check}} The coordinates offered for Green Waterhole Cave have it located about 400 metres (1,300 ft)* due south of the Princess Highway in the middle of a pine plantation which is in conflict with the content of the article which states the cave is 'only a few metres from the Princess Highway'. As a past visitor to this cave site, I am of the opinion that it is located about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft)* to east - this can be seen on Google Maps as an area of remnant shrub surrounding by developed agricultural land. Using Google Street view, one can see the doline opening.Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 23:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Done. Judging by the photo following page 2 in the first reference in the article, which matches the Google street view exactly (save for the fact that someone seems to have logged all the trees on the left side of the road), I'd say you've hit the exact spot, Cowdy001. Thanks for pointing out the error. I've emended the coordinates in the article accordingly. Deor (talk) 00:21, 30 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
The coordinates have been slightly upgraded to coincide with the official SA Government location for the site. RegardsCowdy001 (talk) 05:12, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
