The next piece of msm came when Gary was sighted by the Ambulance training helicopter 6 weeks later and the location of where he was found - down the cliff face at Sweet Dreams.
As what happened between that time, nothing has been reported.
Though its hard to say if he was anywhere near Sweet Dreams at 12:20am (presumed time of the phone call to colleagues) if he was seen 5 minutes earlier by the passing motorist at 12:15am on Watkins Road.
Though a 17 minute walk from Watkins Road down Sublime Road takes you almost to the beginning of that track in West Street (even if he did cut through the plot of bush before West Street) and the close vicinity - (see attachment) - it doesn't mean he did this just a matter of Google walking down that way.
Sublime Point was also one of the first serious search areas the Police looked at extensively. I wonder if there was news that he had gone down that way?
Which also reminds me... on the 19th July (2 days after Gary disappeared) when I went to Sublime Point and took the first pics, a search leader was finishing his day when I asked him if there was any news - he said sadly, no. Was Gary not able to be seen from over the cliff face if someone looked?
Haven't yet worked out how to get the name of the person I am quoting to come across yet...
FigTree and others, there has been lots of publicity given to the Sweet Dreams cliff face in the media, but my understanding from reports has always been that Gary was found 'near' a location known as Sweet Dreams, not down that actual cliff itself. I think Sweet Dreams kept being referred to because it is the closest discernible landmark to where Gary was found. But if you look at the pictures of where Gary actually lay and where the police abseiled down to, it's not the stark cliff face that climbers go up and down, but down an bit of escarpment that's got heaps more bush on it. Not been to that specific spot, but just from looking at the photos, I don't know that you could see immediately down from where Gary fell - wouldnt it be too obscured by bush?
