here is a better ntsawa visit
http://www.confluence.org/photo.php?visitid=1801&pic=1
tho it looks like only the capless bloke is making his
point very well
& while we are in the neighborhood
here is a better look at the nssavi triarea too
http://www.confluence.org/confluence.php?lat=-34&lon=141
but these folks appear to have completely disregarded
the tripoint
despite having ascended the murray to within a mile or
2 of it
before waltzing off across the billabongs to their
nontripoint trypoint
perhaps they didnt know or care where to look for our
tripoint trypoint
it is admittedly a bit of a puzzle
the nsvi state line at least is believed to run along
the high water mark on the south or left bank of the
river
but we have no data on the convergent nssa state line
demarcation coming down from camerons corner in the
north
nor frankly do we know if the savi state line also
follows the same high water mark
or some other feature of the river
the short distance from nssw to vinw
so even we
despite all this help from the government of oz
plus a lot of additional searching on google
still dont actually know exactly where to look for
nssavi either
this zoomable map only suggests the difficulty of the
situation
