<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi all,<br>
  For my own education, could someone attempt to guess what's going on here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/lBqP" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/lBqP</a><br>
<br>
Specifically, Ward Rd. I see no trace of it on NearMap<br>
(<a href="http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.897085,145.391838&z=18&t=h&nmd=20100711" target="_blank">http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.897085,145.391838&z=18&t=h&nmd=20100711</a>),<br>
and I couldn't find it when I rode through there the other night.<br>
<br>
Well, ok, you can kind of see the outline of something that once might<br>
have been a road, but it's just grass. But at Grantulla Rd, StreetView<br>
shows what I saw: three driveways, all clearly private property.<br>
<br>
Even Melway has it:<br>
<a href="http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/mapsearch.cgi?star=5&heading=&x=145.39312095760306&ftsSearch=ward%20rd%20kallista&y=-37.89649631015688&level=6&StateID=1" target="_blank">http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/mapsearch.cgi?star=5&heading=&x=145.39312095760306&ftsSearch=ward%20rd%20kallista&y=-37.89649631015688&level=6&StateID=1</a><br>

<br>
They show it as dashed, but I'm not sure what that means.<br>
<br>
Anyway, is this likely a road that used to exist, an error...something else?<br>
<br>
