Bit sus about this, How come it wasn't discovered over the ONE MILLION MILES of "Testing"

Me too.

I love how Les just drops random and totally unrelated posts here and there and no-one says anything because we’re all keen to get them.

No snakes as a starter?

Was clearly more issues being addressed than that, although that may have delayed a bit longer than others. But basically saying to us there were no quality issues appears to have been less than the whole truth.

Lies comes to mind. There is an inherent risk when trying to 'hold the narrative' when you are on the back foot...

At the moment the Tortugas, Thermopylae & Titania are all outside Port Philip Bay waiting to dock in Melbourne, all with plenty of Grenadiers on board

Ship is on the move into port now! 7:40am 26/7/23

This is the location up in Cape York where the Explorer Edmund Kennedy was killed in 1848. By "the spot" I mean the location within around 50 metres or so.

 

[Tazzieman]

So much history up that way Les , but I'm yet to explore it. It's a bloody long way from here!
You would enjoy reading a recent local book about an extremely intrepid and hardy Tassie lad making his way around remote W/SW Tas back in the day.

I’ve often wondered how you (and others) can be so sure of these things. Was a journal left that was so accurately detailed, survivors left details or some other method.

It's recorded on a Bush Telegraph device invented by the locals ..a type of text message stick noting the Lat/Long to 5 decimal places. The message sticks were carried hither and thither by a flock of trained dark emus ...

Or perhaps it’s the what3words address - Edmund Kennedy killed.

Wouldn't be the case if the ships were named Bruce or Les
As opposed to these opera and slow animal names

Shortly after Kennedy was speared, a party led by Jackey Jackey went in to retrieve the body (which was found to be missing) but they gave a very tight narrative of the location using the width of the Escape River as their guidance to the location. This narrative was contained as an Annex in the book "William Carrons Narrative of Kennedys Cape York Expedition" Two points help identify the spot (1) There was an Ant nest at the location and two the Escape River only 50 metres away was down to a width of barely one yard. Thats what led us (the Australian Army) to this spot in 1972 and returned again in 20010.

My mates car was due to dock on the 28th July. He got a call from his agent to tell him that the car will be at the agents on the 8th August - not a bad turn around time.

I assume it's Newcastle port - Melbourne is supposed to have very long post unloading delays

Just have to blindfold my wife as she's not keen on crocs or snakes she hasn't yet met...and the mozzies
Might have to wrap her like a mummy.
Mind you she survived the Katherine River kayak trip .

Should pick up my beast on Fri - a month to the day since it was offloaded in Brisbane so good work from all involved in Brissy.
Despite paying for it Mon 17th, my Ineos account still showing in production and payment pending????
