FullGraphics[Graphics@ yourContourGraphics] will return a list of 2D graphics primitives
that includes ticks marks by Text. Then you can manipulate that using Rule and Replace. It
is probably better just adding your own tickmarks using Text.
Or, how about copy and paste your normal contour plot into a graphics program, then flip
it there. You might do this is Mathematica too by converting the graphics into a bitmap
GraphicsArray... well, you work out the details. (may not be possible)
