It seems like you got it from airliners.net, so in your case I would just
read the description there.

Lord Howe Island, off the east coast of Australia.

Somewhere I'd like to be.

Now it's OK, I suppose.

During the 19th century however it used a penal colony. :-(

Sorry Charles, Norfolk Island was the penal colony was set up, not Lord Howe
Island. From Wikipedia page on the island - "Lord Howe Island was discovered
on 17 February 1788 by HMS Supply, commanded by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird
Ball, RN, who was on his way from Botany Bay to Norfolk Island with convicts
to start a penal settlement there."

Cheers,

It was actually sent to me from a friend for identification. I knew that
there were people here in this group that would know. So dont jump to
conclusions smart ass.

Please come back to the group and tell all of us just how
this person was being a smart ass.

All he did was quote from Wikipedia.

His comments should have enlightend you as they enlightened the rest in
the group who were mildly curious.

He did not insult you, nor put you down, nor denigrate you.

So what is your problem with his reply.

He accused me of snagging the picture from another website with an
explaination of what the picture was. All I was doing was asking for
identification. Read his post carefully and you will see sarcasm.
