This is a real guess.  Haven't been there since I lived at Baffle Creek, but it could have changed a lot in that time.

How about 1770 ?

Ulladulla and if my memory serves me right when you go from the caravan park to the princess Hwy and turn left onto the hwy a bit further down there is a bakery on the left and he has a special pie each day (hope I'm not mixing my towns up there is a fossil museum there and the guy at the museum recommended the bakery to us)

Just an aside,

The highway is male, Princes, although most, including me, have presumed female.

We walked through a tunnel to the beach at Fremantle, I didn't take a photo & can't remember what it looked like.

Thanks for that info Chris it shows what attention we pay when we read maps biggrinand Relax-n and Whenarewethere you have the wrong state. Here is a quote from some info about it "Built in 1915 to move workers and materials from one side of the island to the other, when World War II broke out the tunnels were used as air-raid shelters." Pretty well most of us have been not too far from the island.

You have it Dunmowin over to you for a pic. C0ckatoo island was interesting with the penal colony history and worth a visit. One thing that interested me was the seagulls nesting everywhere.

Given the old relic might be a river boat. I am thinking one of our mighty rivers that has dried up

. First thought is Darling River. Perhaps Bourke
