G'day GrahamI hate to mention this, but your highly precise location details don't work. If I go to Google Earth and search on your details I'm offered strange places all over the globe. If I search for swimming pool Maroubra I get offered the Maroubra swimming school and the Des Renford pool. Neither points are actually indicating swimming pools but suburban houses (this is of course not your doing and I don't want to start in on a rant about people who put things in the wrong places on Google Earth). There is a pool on the corner of Jersey Road and Robey Streets. It has a nice big car-park and appears to be in the correct Milky Way quadrant. However it is nearly 2 km inland. Is this where you saw the Northern Giant Petrel and a shark and Humpback Whales? I'd like to see locations indicated with a Google Earth .kmz file as proposed by Russell Woodford recently (see attached). Cheers Steve
