In the words of another well known bard: "Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot" Cheers, Andrez |

The explorer was Pawe³ Edmund Strzelecki. Some of his history is on wikipedia which will give you a date, but sadly no mention of the Anderson's coast story. |
