    Mudgee Pond Pirates.
    Although it does look close to the nearby buildings, the dam has a high wall on that side.
    This is one DEEP pond, up to 9 mtrs deep.

    I was using the Google maps website, but I couldn't find the coordinates. I tried some numbers from the URL and wound up in Turkmenistan, then in Kansas. Warspite hit the nail on the head: how do you get the coordinates? I can find the location on the map easily, but not the numbers to post.

    I actually use the Google earth free download version. (Much, much more fun than google maps). It gives you the co-ordinates right there on the page, although some fine tuning is usually necessary.

    41°49'36.55"N 73°58'6.67"W should do the trick for the NYBG.

    WWCC main battle pond. We're in the middle pond, on the north-west corner. The corner is the Axis port, and the Allies are on the other side of the big shade tree.
