A couple of years ago our chorus performed in New Zealand. We took a bus tour from Auckland to Wellington that went by Lake Taupo and Mt Orodruin - one brave soul (fool) did a bunge jump somewhere along that route (the high point of the trip for him). I learned that there are a lot of different types of sheep, and temporaily sated my cravings for lamb (curry, sandwiches, entree avec mint jelly).

What do you mean with "if that gets edited" ?
I intended this label (Mount Doom) to be an Easter Egg, isn't it one ??

He probably is expecting something that is hard to see, but if "clicked on" reveals a more elaborate image.

But I have no time for that, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

I've been there and seen it, and it would be a nightmare place to stage an invasion - you'd beach your landing craft, then immediately have to cross another body of water...

Alice Springs needs to be added as a point of resupply in outback Australia - its importance as a point of supply here is far, far in excess of its listed population. I can't emphasise this enough!

But, does this makes warrant a swamp hex ?
Opinions, others ? People from Down Under ?

This vital, strategic centre is looking ripe for conquest. Or a desperate defence. Or not.

Is Tasmania supposed to be part of the Australian Home Country?  I'm not sure how the WiF RAW about territory labelling applies in MWiF (esp. wrt map resolution), but you can walk a MAR there from Canberra.

There are a bucket load of rivers in the goomadeer/ goyder area and I chose the 2 that looked the biggest.

East Alligator, a favorite place for kids to swim, I assume.

You seriously do not want to go swimming up here. There are no alligators but there are crocodiles. "Fresh water crocs" are ok but the "Salt water crocs" (Crocodylus porosus) are very nasty. Every few months there are stories of tourists who go swimming where they shouldn't or even go too close to the water/ river bank and then become croc bait.. To make it even more difficult the salties are not confines to salt water and definately inhabit the fresh water river system. The largest one ever known was shot in 1957. It was 8.63 meters (28.3 feet) long and weighed over 2000 kg (4400 lb). Bloody big.
