Köszönöm szépen!

Good composition - i like it ...Voted

I stumbled across this one day dreaming of finding an island to get lost on. What a trip! What I would do with this place. I would make it Eco friendly too. Maybe it's too big for me though. ;) Needs trees.

Watching as one of these subs heads out to sea was always a thrill.

The Ethel was wrecked in 1904 on its way to Port Adelaide from South Africa. Not much remains of the vessel now and most that does remain is buried underneath the sand.

Greetings back to you, wmead: I'd hang any one of your shots on my wall! Hope to take another look later. Wish I were in Australia!

I was there as an MP in 91 and 92. I have lots of memories shark fishing at the end of the island and eating steaks at the "Beach Club". I remember it had about the best mess hall in the Army. If there was a way I could get back there, I would in a heartbeat.

Dedicated to the preservation of the island's history and unique natural beauty, with ever-changing displays of local fauna mounts, historic and pre-columbian relics, photos, maps and documents. To the rear of the building is a nature preserve, and the museum also sponsors a network of similar trails, maintained by volunteers, throughout the island.
