I manually entefed the location which automatically produced a correct map location. Who does the record still say there is : 'x ' GPS evidence of location?

Hi @JenniM
Viewed from my end the record is saying -35.244271 149.167539 https://maps.app.goo.gl/WZN2kMwaDENfn3qs7
which is half way between the back fences of houses in Rivett St, and the firetrail. It is in a bit of a gully/drain opposite the intersection of French and Rivett Sts. Is that the correct place, near enough?
