almost all I saw were on the right side on the road going to Mata Mata, in the +/- small trees \O
have to search something transparent... in the sun lol

sorry BluTuna
Both of the AWCs in trees were on the right when heading to MM - they were in a crook of the tree a bit above eye level. I didn't go further than Dalkieth waterhole on my drives so they are somewhere there.
