What's even more telling, is that he was communicating with the Daily Mail
It does look like some kind of lake with a creek or drainage system running through it. It also looks deep due to the dark and seemingly clear imagery provided by satellite. Maybe a man made catchment to help with road flooding. As there appears to be quite a few in the area.
Its on google Street view. I don't know how to link that. It's not a photo of the lake, but the small channel running from it looking from the link you provided. The lake/sink hole is behind thick trees.
It is a substantial man made ‘dam’ taking advantage of the lands natural run off and a watercourse runs through it . I have once walked the western end of this dam from the north , coming out at the farm fence adjacent to Recreation Rd . The cleared area in the pic on the north side was once long gone farm buildings , there is no immediate dwellings now , it’s a little isolated and although fenced all around the vehicular activity you see could indicate the fencing has fallen in disrepair … I’ll scout around this Sunday and confirm . <modsnip - hearsay>
I agree both of those are likely, or very likely. I wonder if it’s a friend that has come forward, or even a family member.
Have we seen any police divers during the searches? How are they checking all of the water spots?
And my thinking has always been to look at bodies of water. Creeks, ponds, dams, puddles, tanks whatever has water.
I don't believe divers have been used as yet, I certainly have heard no mention in any media reports. For whatever reason water sources don't seem to be high on the list of search locations and I don't understand why.
As it’s a farm dam on private land it’s not likely to have a public name as such .
Thank you. That body of water is in the map from Whatson's image provided above and there is an image of it also. I can find no information about it anywhere.
