Bob and Joyce Adventurers in Australia

Bob and Joyce Australian Adventure
May 22 - June 8, 2003

Gold Coast
Point Danger

	We drove right on past the high rise beach resorts. This is about ten miles away looking back.
	At last some deserted beaches.
	Point Danger, a place first described by Captain Cook.
	An interesting memorial had a plaque for each of the 41 ships sunk near Australia during World War II. I include two:
	The torpedo was aimed at the USS Chicago, but missed. A ceremony is held in Sydney each year to remember this event.
	The attack at Darwin was the only actual attack on Australian soil. A lot of ships were sunk.
	This marker showing Captain Cook discovery lies on the state line between New South Wales and Queensland. Notice the change in the color of the marble floor as the line is crossed.
