Could be a particle accelerator.

Well actually I thought it might have been something ancient carved into the
desert by the indians (before John Wayne shot them all). It looks to me like
a sacred place to worship the bicycle wheel. The indians were obviously
thousands of years ahead of us in terms of the invention of the wheel. It
looks like carbon blade fork with maybe, er, Shimano brakes and quick
release hub.

Actually, it's an artifact left by aliens who visited the earth thousands
and thousands of years ago.

Most probably a circular irrigation device.

The centre will be a pump. The spokes are roads into the centre to
divide up the cropping area, which is what they tend to do since someone
planted a whole device to carrots, glutting the market and just about
sending themselves broke.

Hmm, there should be some in Australia as well. SA and one in the SE
Riverina from memory.

Here is the real answer:

Dear Marty,

That is the old track at the Goodyear Tire proving grounds. The big
circle was the road they used to test the tires and the spokes were the
fire lanes that cut through the vegetation. The new track is the figure
8 you see to the left of the circle.

Let me know if you find anything decent.

I've got 3 of the map-sets with that excuse for a front-end.
Something that could render a decent map of a track-log
would be nice.

PS> Do you have the handlebar mount for your GPS? Any Good?

PPS> "Johnny Appleseed" in QLD (have website somewhere)
sell GPS stuff at good prices. When we bought our
GPS their price was a little cheaper than a supposed 'good deal'
my mum could get because she's in the fire brigade.

I use a really good program called Gartrip. It takes a while to get the hang
of it but I use it all the time now to plan my mountain bike trips. (If we
don't get lost it's a "training ride" and if we get lost, and it's dark and
late it's an "adventure".)
We regularly do long night rides and my GPS let's us know where we are.
I can upload tracks and aslo download tracks onto maps.

I don't use a handlebar mount because I think it'd get knocked off in some
of the thick bush we often have to push through.
