Which island would you want

Post by SargeantTex »

hypothetical question if you could buy your own island which one would you want.

I myself would like to either have New Ireland or Truk lagoon checked the satelite photos and truk looks to have a fairly modern airfield on it.

No, the Continent is where the French, Germans, Italians, Spanish and other assorted foreigners live. [:D]

And "continent" is the antonym of incontinent. What's the relation of that to Australia? [&:] [:D]

North Island, New Zealand

If you're talking small islands, Samoa.

Though I read somehwere that Vella Lavella is the only island in the Solomomns that does not suffer from malarial infestation, so that makes it a contender.
