Talk:D'Aguilar Range

Northenmost Point?

edit

The Qld Government Topographic Map website (http://qtopo.dnrm.qld.gov.au/desktop/) shows an escarpment of the D'Aguilar Range extending North-East from Bracalba (near the town of D'Aguilar) through the Glasshouse Mountains to Mount Mellum. This info contradicts the statement that "Woodford lies at the northernmost point of the range". ShipWatcher (talk) 22:48, 10 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Nice observation and thanks for sharing QTOPO. Do you know what the source PNDB stands for? Can QTOPO provide a url as part of a reference? - Shiftchange (talk) 03:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the reply. I don't understand the context of your phrase "source PNDB". Is this some reference on the map? I didn't see the term used on the map and don't know what it refers to, but would guess perhaps Place Names Database? I have asked DNRM to provide info about permalinks to specific points in Q-Topo and will respond again here if / when I receive more info. Until then the most unambiguous reference I can give you to this information is:

This info will enable anyone with access to the specific map to view the Mount Mellum region and see the reference to the D'Aguilar Range at that point. Please forgive the terrible formatting. I'm unfamiliar with wiki editing (but am happy to learn). ShipWatcher (talk) 03:37, 15 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
