    Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

      This is based in a town called Exmouth in Western Australia. I believe the town was originally created due to the need to service US personnel and their families who were based out there in the 1960’s

        This is a joke about your title missing “who”

        Looks more like a summoning circle to me.

    The PM disappeared whilst swimming (and there was a conspiracy theory that he had been a spy from China and was picked up by a submarine before the net closed in). If the communication station also mysteriously disappeared, that would be quite a coincidence.

    The US did name a warship after Holt, though. It served for a few decades, then was decommissioned and sunk as a target in exercises.

    This place is so remote, the average bloke from WA doesn’t even know it exists.
