Australian Discovery, edited by Ernest Scott It stands upon a projecting cape, round which the shore falls back to the northward, forming a sandy bight where there appeared to be shelter from western winds; indeed, as the coast-line was not distinctly seen round the south-west corner of the bight, it is possible there may be some small inlet in that part. Beyond Cape Riche the shore forms a sandy bight, in which is a small island; and on the north side of another clifly projection, four leagues further, there is a similar falling back of the coast, where it is probable there is also good shelter for boats, if not a small inlet. We passed between it and the cape, and observed the cliffs of the latter to be stratified, and apparently calcareous. etext.library.adelaide.edu.au /pgaus/ausdisc/ausdisc1-16.html   (20662 words)

Geoscience Australia - Fab Facts, Dimensions, State And Territory Borders After much argument, it was eventually decided to define the border as a bearing from Cape Howe, the eastern-most point of Victoria, to 'the nearest source of the River Murray', and from there along the river's course to the border of South Australia. In 1872, the case was decided in Victoria's favour when the Privy council maintained that the main watercourse, being the channel of greatest discharge of the Murray was to the north of the island. The line of bearing between the start of the Murray and Cape Howe was explored and marked between 1870 and 1872 by Surveyors Alexander Black and Alexander Allan. www.ga.gov.au /education/facts/dimensions/borders.htm   (2145 words)

Nick Jenkins : The Opinionated Traveller The only other track would take us out to the tip of Cape Howe but last time he had ventured out that way he said he had required some intrepid volunteers to cling to the side of his LandRover to keep it upright during some of the more tricky sections. To give you an indication of how hot it was, we worked out that between us Richard and I drank about twelve litres of water in four hours, and that was sitting the shade.

Wintertime circulation off southeast Australia: Strong forcing by the East Australian Current Numerical results and observations are used to examine the sub–weather band wintertime circulation off the eastern shelf slope region between Tasmania and Cape Howe. The numerical model is forced using wintertime-averaged atmospheric fluxes of momentum, heat, and freshwater and using transports along open boundaries that are obtained from a global ocean model. The boundary to the north of Cape Howe has a prescribed transport of 17 Sv, which from available observations represents strong forcing by the East Australian Current (EAC). www.agu.org /pubs/crossref/2005/2004JC002855.shtml   (408 words)

Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2002191138 In this intimate and poignant history of a sprawling century-old summer house on Cape Cod, George Howe Colt reveals not just one family's fascinating story but a vanishing way of life. The Big House, the author's loving tribute to his one-of-a-kind family home, interweaves glimpses of that elegiac final visit with memories of earlier summers spent at the house and of the equally idiosyncratic people who lived there over the course of five generations. Built by Colt's great-grandfather one hundred years ago on a deserted Cape Cod peninsula, the house is a local landmark (neighboring children know it as the Ghost House): a four-story, eleven-bedroom jumble of gables, bays, sloped roofs, and dormers. www.loc.gov /catdir/description/simon033/2002191138.html   (372 words)
