Well little_tippler the hot chick finally got it....I'm on Thursday Island.
At least based on a few sites I checked, Thursday Island is the northernmost town in Australia...though it does not look like the northernmost piece of land, there appears to be some islands north of Thursday that don't have settlements or are just coral reefs...at least that's what I got from online geography. Go little_tippler: |

Tully, I think you're probably right...if I zoom in on some of the small islands north of Thursday, there seems to be what look like settlements...maybe Thursday Is. has some technical claim to being an official "town" whereas these more northern settlements don't?...crazy Aussies.
edit: actually I'm wondering about this "strange" situation. I copied the map below and the land part at the top is without question the mainland of Papua New Guinea, but as you can see, Boigu Island is practically a stone throw off the New Guinea mainland...so how the hell could it be Australia?...this seems like a problem waiting to happen. One day soon the natives of New Guinea will be attacking Australia to reclaim their rightful ownership of Boigu Island. Thursday Island is at least a lot closer to the Australian mainland.

Well, looking at a map you'd have to wonder why Alaska is part of the US and not Canada. All I know is when I was there they seem to think they were part of Australia.

UP asked if it was in the NH in #408 and then asked if it was an island in #410. Your next post was in#412 where you answered "yes and no" to him. Just trying to figure out which question you were answering. Thought maybe it was one of those cities like Merida where there is a Merida in several countries around the world.
West of 0 Long?

Gez, I need a decent nights sleep. I get it now. I saw "yes and no" and I was scanning for a town on the equator then a town that was part island and part mainland. Then Europe was correct and I couldn't see how it could be at 0 Lat. Just got it stuck in my head it was "part" in the NH and "part" island. I get it, two questions- two answers. Talk about getting lost. Not only that but re-reading through and my Q of West of 0 Lon. is a little redundant. Más duermen por favor.

My first answer was off, way off. I got to thinking what the hell Brillo would have to do with Slovakia. I was thinking Brillo pads. Came up with some town that kind of sounded like pads, but not really. The more I thought about it I knew that just couldn't be right- so Google "Brillo." Came up with Andy Warhol piece. Art piece/ little_tippler- started looking like the right path. More reading and I find there's a Andy Warhol Museum in Medzilaborce, Slovakia, think I read his parents are from the area. Kind of figured it had to be right. Ok guys have at it.
