[Deepseeker]

Close but no cigar Doug. Right disgusting black stuff, but wrong place name

 

[Manpa]

So it's Vegemite? Just need location?

 

[Deepseeker]

Yep, it's Vegemite alright. The stuff that my kids contaminate the butter with as they spread it on their toast, and make me want to gag when I taste it on anything that I put butter on :awful:

But the place?

Alexander Pearce, escapee convict and cannibal.

 

[Deepseeker]

Hey nice one Manpa, I reckon you're on the money there

 

[xcvator]

No money or prize for either of you, keep trying

 

[Manpa]

Another clue would be nice, narrowed it down to 3000 convicts. layful:

 

[Deepseeker]

I agree Manpa, otherwise we'll be going through convict ship lists for 1821 all night :lol:
