Don't go too close

A 'vanning associate of mine has just sent me an e-mail -

during the night they heard a bit of a bump and didn't think much of it.

 

This morning, they are 15 meters from the cliff instead of about

50 where they were camped!!!

 

The fall is about 150 long!!!

 

Seems all the rain has softened the ground?

 

WOW!!

I'm pretty sure if 50M of cliff face that is 150M deep collapsed there would be a hell of a lot of earth as in landslide sitting down the bottom. Anyone who experienced this would have found a safe vantage point to take a photo,

Must be Boozy Gully the way your reacting Brodie.

 Who's going to go to the edge to take a pic downward to capture the

debris at the bottom?

 

Got to bloody nitpick.

 

For the math geniuses, 35 meters wide and 150 LONG is the estimated loss.

 

Now go rest.

A safe vantage point is not standing on the edge or anywhere near it, seems that it's definitely Boozy Gully. Now I don't have to wonder on whether this took place as described or not, or not I think.

 There are no pictures so I take it that Tony was right - it didn't happen.

 So you can stop worrying.

 

ps -They are going to try to find the spot on their way back and I

will get the what3words location. Then you can go look over the edge!!

Go close enough to take a pic down at the foot of the collapse. Good

luck!!!!
