Do you mean Great Dome, or is there something down there unofficially named Dome Hill?

ListMap shows the hill to the SW of Wright is named Dome Hill. In the pic I posted it's the high ground in front of The Thumbs. Current mapping also shows it's nearly on Great Dome...

No, but we have had a succession of years with below average useful rainfall. The ground in the SW is much drier than usual, creeks and other water sources are low.
