Ever since we have moved here I have wondered about the name Whiskers Creek.  We have recently done a U3A Geology Course in which I came across the name Whiskers Fault applying to a structure which start just West of Bungendore and runs to somewhere a tad South of our place.  

This stimulated me to make further enquiries which revealed that Whiskers was the surname of the Surveyor who originally dealt with this area.  I also found out that there was a Canberra 1:250k Geological map and a fellow student on the U3A course showed me a copy, with the Fault clearly marked.  On Googling I found this site which allowed me, for a very good price (ie $0.00) to down load a georeferenced version of the map that goes straight on to my manifestation of Google Earth. So I now know where the Fault runs - a bit further from our house than I thought.

That map may be of general interest to residents.  Of course I offer no warranty about the site or its content but it seems official and inoffensive.
