Article Comment: About the EOTopo Mapset

I have written to Parks Vic, CC'd to Michelle, requesting clarification. Hopefully their answer is authoritative.

I have a particular interest in this kind of thing. I was not so long ago involved in an emergency. I gave Triple O the location based on the maps I had. Emergency services, using different maps, were dispatched to a location some 40km from me and subsequently turned up 3 hours after the event.

Interestingly, I tried to give them a lat/long position but all they wanted to know was how many km from a town on a road. The discrepancy was road names, which led to the dispatch error.

Cheers

Frank. You may have to contact Delwp or who ever they are this week given the disputed section is in Gibbo state forest. The section in the National park is consistantly Tom Groggin Track.

Call the omeo office. They share it with Parks anyway.

03 5159 0600 you may have to leave a message but they generally get back to you within 24 hours.

Thanks Tony,

I have already left a voicemail with Omeo Parks, waiting on a call-back. They're all out firefighting.

The person I spoke to will receive my email and has promised to forward it to the Omeo office. We'll see what transpires.

Delwp is a good contact. Thanks.
