Map?[edit]

Great article, but could we have a map of the route, please? It'd really help to envisage the length of the journey. 86.133.211.60 (talk) 10:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that - great article, and a map would make it even better! 87.112.185.167 (talk) 17:06, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added map to the article, hopefully this helps enrich the article further for others? (And added citations that hold superior references and maps in their own sources (Ref #1's Memoirs and Ref #2 are both excellent). I'll remove the request tag now from above as long as that is okay with everyone? DigitalExpat (talk) 12:40, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Updated the link for Rex Clifton's report ( mastermariners.org.au has it as 404 ). If it was to be back on mastermariners.org.au, it counted 8,731,431 Alexa on mastermariners according to http://siteexplorer.info/domain/mastermariners.org.au, just before I refreshed that last. --Askedonty (talk) 14:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
