Sent the map to you...hope you find it useful.

Yes,........ thank you.
Its a very old pic, it shows that bottom corner as what looks like a race track of some kind. The Google pic at the start of this thread is obviously a lot newer, and you can clearly see the edge of what appears t be a circular object, that doesnt look like anything in the pic you sent me. Thats why i was wondering if it was a large tank or reservoir of some kind, or a sewage oxidation pond, because of the clear circular outline.
Oh well,....... maybe i'll just put in the racetrack ( racehorse training track perhaps ?), and be done with it, seeing as how i cant seem to find out any more info on it anywhere.

I dont think the image is large enough, or more to the point, of a high enough resolution to be used for a photoreal ground texture.
Dont worry,......... the thought crossed my mind to .........

The map was taken on 4/3/05...so its actually only 3 years ago. Oamaru seems to have changed very little over time by the look of it.
And yes the circular object is a disused racetrack by the look of it.

Thanks for the pic Mark.
I think i will just put in a racetrack there, and the pic has been good for the positioning of a couple of other items in the scenery as well.
