Dispatch #33 -- The Last Bit of Trust Somewhere on my epic drive through karri country, around the time I made a right turn for Pemberton, I was the farthest from home that I have been on this trip, and indeed that I have ever been at all.

Seascape Navigator - Lighthouses of the 20th Century Located at Point Lonsdale, 105 kilometres south-west of Melbourne, this lighthouse identifies the notorious entrance to Port Phillip Bay, known as The Rip, where ocean and bay waters collide through an outlet only one kilometre wide. The most remote lighthouse in the series is Cape Don, located on the Cobourg Peninsula, 160 kilometres flying distance from Darwin, which was constructed when the Commonwealth Government realised that the passage between the peninsula and Melville Island was an unlit route to Darwin. Located near Bunbury, 190 kilometres south of Perth, Casuarina Point is the most eye-catching of the lighthouses in the issue, with its distinctive fl-and-white chequered, rocket-shaped tower. www.maritimeworld.net /sn.asp?PageNumber=220   (409 words)
