Hi AnkaMaria,
We noted the new location on the previous page which says "New survey location is now between the wetlands at -35.217254, 149.052544" as it's more precise than the spreadsheet. When that lat/long is put into Google Earth it drops in a spot between the pond in the middle of the ring road and the one to the west of it on the other side of the road - but a little closer to the western one. So that's the one we aimed for and recorded. On inspection the one in the middle was quite polluted as it's the one that takes the first intake from the stormwater drain. Hope this helps,
John.
