Where is this?

looks like Kangaroo Island's Cape Couedic Light...almost.

Eddystone Point Light



(+ or -)40°S. 148°21'E.

The abalone of Tasmania made me think of this spot:

One does a "wall" dive here. I remember thinking; "I hope the current doesn't decide to go DOWN! (It's a long way)" It's a nice place - I have three-prong polespeared a cabazon for breakfast, bought fresh, wonderful bread for lunch and snared a rabbit for dinner, diving in between. That was in 1974 - I imagine that the non-park part is built up with big-money houses now because it is a nice area.
I hate diving with orca. I know that they are not wont to attack divers but one slip near here and a guy could end up a Dead man!

St.Hellens??

Kinda near. About 13,400 kilometers from George's bay, tho.

The fish, Scorpaenichthys marmoratus, isn't in Tasmania.
This place has abalone. I just read that it a preserve now, with no taking of anything.
Like in Australia, some genius imported rabbits to an island with insufficient predators. At least cactus prob'ly won't make it!
There is a very well known bakery nearby.
There are clues in the first pertinent post on which I cannot elaborate.
New clue: Check out the trees. They are indigenous nowhere in the world other than, perhaps, a 300 kilometer circle with this locale near the circumference.



Looks like organized tourist kayak treks now - ugh.

Ure's operation in the late 1880's consisted of Ure and his native wife. Local tradition has it that his wife would camp on a nearby island (which was visible from the open sea) and signal him with a fire on the island's summit to alert him to whether or not it was safe to bring his illegal cargo ashore. For transport, Ure would tie the illegal Chinese immigrants up in burlap bags so that if customs agents were to approach then he could easily toss the bags overboard. The tidal currents would carry the discarded immigrant's bodies and many ended up in a bay just south of the light in question.

We are in the Monterey region I guess?

Deception pass?

knut is getting very warm. The vegitation will trick you, Richard - it doesn't rain as much as most of the rest of the area.
"discarded immigrant's bodies...ended up in a bay just south of the light in question"

Jah, the vegetation I thought was a more southerly. And the fish has its main population in the Monterey area. Than there is a "Chinese bay or cove" south of Monterey. So all together I felt right there. Anyway I do´nt know the region from the waterside, I never travelled the US coast by boat. (and only few regions on land)

So, Knut make it clear!

Well, Deception pass is on Rosario Strait, I believe. This island is not on the border strait that the British wanted. The trees are madrona. There is lime there. One of the founders of Greenpeace lives in the harbor town on this island. The bay in question is Deadman's bay, but the lighthouse, or point, or park? The water is generally colder there than late summer in my part of Alaska. A group of islands, I think this is the second largest on the US side. I don't remember but one should be able to see the lights of Victoria from this light and maybe the light of Port Angeles.

Lime Kiln Point State Park is the place on San Juan Island to watch sunsets and hopefully spot some of the 80-plus Orcas who make the waters of Haro Strait their summer home.

Unquote...?

Is this closer?

Yes, good job.

Thank you, is it my turn?
If in case, where is this....?
I've been to that area a couple of times, not exactly at this spot, but near, what strikes you is the nature, fish quality as food, and the area as a diving area. And the weather....

Some hints:
There is a moraine there, leftover from a glacier, belived to be more than 20 000 years old.
This area (on the picture) got electric power as early as 1904.
