Ah, playing around with Google Earth are we?

Try this. Type in these coordinates and zoom all the way in.

35° 7'2.17"N, 85°15'16.73"W

The white blob you see is The Mighty Jewel.
Cool, huh?

White blob looks like some kind of storage facility to me. Do you want
me to pass on the location to Osama?

That's one good reason NOT to do it again!

Of course at a bit more then 24 degrees south it in not in the
tropics.

But pretty close.

Once you get inside the Barrier Reef, (about Bunderburg, heading
north) I guess us Queenslander's figure it tropical.
All the Victorians motor up to Harvey Bay (just south of the real
reef's beginning) towing their little shells (caravans) Trailers to
you lot. Intent on spending the winter basking in our glorious
sunshine with seawater temp around 20 degrees Celsius and plentiful
bounty off the beaches. They are the real beachcombers. Six months in
paradise and then back to the rust belt to escape the real heat. Do
you fish Scott?

Water temp of 20C seems far to cold to me, 25C I can live with.

I don't fish, and this is a huge sports fishing area, I just don't get
a kick
out of it.
