G'day Andy, and thanks. I just had a look at the area around Curtis Island on Google Earth. It is heavily industrialised - looks like a moonscape around the southern end. No wonder the locals were up in arms about damage to local fish stocks recently. Still, looks promising further up the Narrows towards the north.
