| Landie, - - -That place does not exist anymore..... Get a new map.... post 1975 will do as they all went independant and severed subservience to GB & France and Australia in that decade... PNG has some 600 islands, Solomon comprises more than 300, and further south, Vanuatu is also about 300 islands. New Caledonia does not have very many islands (relatively) and Fije & New Zealand are likewise handicapped. Australia is just one F...in big one with a couple of spots - some bigger than others, oh and "Van Diemans Land" if your charts were from the 19th century... Charmc & artemis - - - scored the Jackpot (Got a lat & lon in degrees/decimal for a bonus point?) |

| Artemis, Concise to the end (6 characters), Oh dear, you have not read the instructions in the first few posts... Verbosits and pontificating with the use of the most complex form possible in order to express your point in being grumpy over.... Epictetus' quote does not count, unless you use it as a reference in your arguement. For an English challenged person, and for actually expressing the point so succiently, though, you are to be praised - which I have managed to do with REAL points this time. Jeff must have put some into my account ![]() |
