Yes for Google Maps, but not on Google Earth!

The extra trail is on Google Maps when I look at it, both in map and satellite view.

but I did not expect it would result in a different map. I was also intrigued by the extra trail shown on my version of the map when I produced it.

Something peculiar here. The cuckoo spot is very near control 6 in last week’s orienteering but
I was baffled by the pale track on Steve’s map and sure enough it’s not on the Google map used by ordinary people

It was off the Federal Hwy access near the red arrow on the attached map.

Hi Steve
Whereabouts on Mt Majura, it is not a hill I've walked on much?
I went up the track to the summit, entering from Southern end and thought I heard one near the powerlines but when I got there no more calls
Any suggestions
Thanks

I was lucky enough to get close enough to a Brush Cuckoo on Mount Majura today to notice it’s nostrils – circular (as is characteristic of the genus) and protruding from the beak
as a short tube. See hbw.com/ibc/1292837.
