    Took me ages to work out which way this is looking, but I suspect it's south. The main road in the centre is J'ville road, the gorge is the small track going off towards 11 o'clock with Fraser Ave continuing straight ahead and then bending right. Broderick Rd is the road going off to the right where it will cross the rail lines visible in the bottom right.

    Thank you! I took one look at it and thought "oohhh, that's too hard for me to identify...."
