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:

Go little_tippler:
When I was there in '85. Boigu Island had a large airport and big sign that read northern most settlement in Australia. Maybe it's like all those places that claim to have the worlds best clam chowder?

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.

I know when I was there there wasn't a pier for our ship, had to take launches ashore. Also had to anchor off about two freaking miles due to swallow water. Couldn't even see the town from where we anchored. But there was a town and an airport that seemed way too big. Have no idea why they needed such a large air strip. Always assumed there was some military explanation, which would explain why we were there. Though all my friends and I did was head to the service to seaman's club and drink.


Not important, next.

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.

Hate to tell you this Uncle Phil but...

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.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.


Fernando Pessoa, 1918
