[talk-au] What's going on here? (mysterious street)

[Steve Bennett]

Hi all,
  For my own education, could someone attempt to guess what's going on here:

http://goo.gl/maps/lBqP

Specifically, Ward Rd. I see no trace of it on NearMap
(http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.897085,145.391838&z=18&t=h&nmd=20100711),
and I couldn't find it when I rode through there the other night.

Well, ok, you can kind of see the outline of something that once might
have been a road, but it's just grass. But at Grantulla Rd, StreetView
shows what I saw: three driveways, all clearly private property.

Even Melway has it:
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

They show it as dashed, but I'm not sure what that means.

Anyway, is this likely a road that used to exist, an error...something else?

Steve
