That "access point" is still another barbed-wire fence away from the northernmost dam.

That barbed wire fence the police officer is climbing over is on the corner of the phone dam, on the road and right beside the bushes that were excavated. It’s the one I referred to before that leads straight to the red cross in the paddock right beside where the phone was found in the dam. The top of that section of the fence is wood so you can climb over without standing on the barbed wire (like in the photo). I don’t think PS would have gone to this trouble but he’s possibly tall and agile so maybe he did. Just exploring options and that’s plausible.

The alternative that you’re suggesting (correct me if I’m misunderstanding) is that it was thrown from further up the road at a greater distance?

Yes, up hill a little way, from about where I've marked the orange dot in the direction of the arrow.

No, look, here is the fence the police officer is climbing.

It's here: Google Maps

The boomerang shaped dam is to the left, beyond the fence that runs at a right-angle to the road. The middle dam is to the right.

I think you're mistaking that climbing point for the other end of the paddock, shown here:

does it really matter how he threw the phone in the reservoir? i love your dedication though!

my 02c. he threw it from the road. it could well have been a spontaneous idea of where to ditch it.

No it doesn’t. lol
Yes, agreed. Spontaneous pitch from the road to get rid of it quickly.

It's not so much about the pitch point, as getting our signals straight, so when we think we understand each other we actually do.
