[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 80607, member: 1695"] The place is Ballina, it was the first town seen by Charles Kingsford Smith on his trans pacific flight before turning north to the final destination of Brisbane. The second was the Las Balsas rafts from their expedtion from Ecuador in 1973, instead of arriving at the predicted destination of Mooloolabah, the currents forced them south to Ballina. It proved that people could have travelled across the Pacific in ancient times! Phew, that took a while, good one. :) [/QUOTE]
