This is in Isaacs Ridge Nature Reserve new offset along Mugga Lane, not in NSW.

Hi Mike, sorry about the map. This is one of the automatically generated maps that are created by Google Maps as background to the ones we create ourselves and we have no control over them.
It is interesting how we also have a Jerrabomberra, ACT map as well. The two maps seem to overlap, so it is quite confusing. See

and

Hi Michael,
There will be a few from this area. It is an offset under the EPBC Act and is now part of Isaacs Ridge Nature Reserve. It appears the Government has not made the boundary change so Google is unaware of it. Maybe Michael Mulvaney can remind the mapmakers.

Cedric Bear was also having issues with Wallaroo, ACT sightings showing up as Wallaroo, NSW. I recall there were maps for both

Yes, we do have problems along the border with NSW. Tralee is another one.
The Isaacs Ridge area is particularly bad. I tried to fix it with our new manual mapping system but the boundaries are far too complex.

Have a look again - it is now in Isaacs Ridge offset area.
