Cockle Creek - the potential

Given this:
<blockquote>Quote
<hr>Cornwall has Land’s End, Tasmania has Cockle Creek, the southernmost part of Australia. <hr></blockquote>
(according to here)

shouldn't you be lobbying for this to be enhanced by this

I think a giant Tasmanian tiger would be a start.

I seem to recall Land's End was nothing more than a windswept cliff with a multitude of signs pointing to various destinations across the globe with a solitary stunted, green-faced, scrumpy-sodden Cornishman flogging - I've been to Land's End - tee-shirts. Great reason to trek all the way in there.

Not now, Drover, not now.

Land's End now has an Experience parked there.

We were given a good tip when in Cornwall. Go to Sennen Cove and a few hours of bracing cliff top walk will take you to Lands End, avoiding the fee and much of the tackiness. And you get a lot longer to enjoy the views.

LoL Until today I though Cockle Creek was a place that had been made up by the Oz branch TT. :) It was only day when I realised today that it was a real place that I looked it up and discovered that I have actually been there, I think.

Don't let the developers hear you joking about developing the area, they might take you seriously. :(

and Cockle Creek isn't the most southerly point of Australia.

I thought Land's End was meant to be the most westerly? (Not counting the Scilly Isles). Isn't The Lizard the most southerly (also Cornwall)

I thought Cornwall stuck out further than Wales? And they never count NI in this pissing contest. Just GB.

Here they all are.
Yep, Land's End most westerly England; The Lizard most southerly England and GB (of course); Point of Ardnamurchan - most westerly point GB.

Gosh.

Cockle Creek is as far south as you can drive unless you go bush. I think it would be safe to say they also have the most southerly outdoor BBQ facilities in Australia. No wait, I tell a lie, I think the former lighthouse keeper on Maatsyker Island had one as well.

and yeah Cornwall sticks out further than Wales, but not further than Scotland. Sorry, nerb....

I think given our love of the internal combustion engine, it's fair enough to say that only places reachable by car can count as the "most furthest flung". Thus it's the lookout at Cape Byron, not those pissy little rocky things that are most easterly. Mal and Mike Leyland never got their LandRover onto those rocks.

Well you learn something every day. This place is a fount. I spend nearly a year working here in Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and no one there ever told me it was the most westerly point in the country.

Damn, so do you mean it was a wasted effort when I walked out to the rocks at Cape York? If I knew that theory I could just have stayed on the road.

Not only a country, but the whole of Magna Brittania.

So that's you, me, spen and botr who have learned things today, and all in one thread.

Yes, Kate - don't get caught again being fooled into getting out of the car. Anything worth seeing can be seen thru a window (and if it's hot leave it rolled up and the aircon on)

LOL - must tell ryb jnr BEFORE the John Howard School Exam become mandatory....(insider coaching)

Malin Head isn't it spen? I think I did stay in the car at that place as it was a dismal rainy day.

Lucky Harry didn't know about Cockle Creek.

Just wait til Frank Sartor is PM and Cockle Creek will be fully developed.

Cockle Creek is NOT the southernmost ppace in Tasmania-

South Cape Bay- several miles south of Cockle Bay- gives views of the southernmost point of mainland Tasmania!

Yes, thankyou, Raki- I think we all know that (post #9). Keep up.
But you can't DRIVE past there, ergo , making it the 'most southerly'. (That was a joke)
The OP was based on an erroneous premise contained in an idiotic website, adding to the forward momentum of a continuous TT Oz Branch joke about Cockle Creek.

Is that literal enough now?
