    Evans Head is a bombing range for the RAAF. Mirages, F111s and a host of other aircraft have 'visited' the place.Nothing personal really, it's just a nice target

    When I first saw this thread I was going to ask: Where's Evans Head?

    But then I remembered that one of my mates has a dad who is a keen and expert fisherman. People are always asking him where they're biting. The conversation then follows these lines

    "Mate, I'm told they're goin' real well at Goat Head."

    "Goat Head, eh?'

    "Yair. Goat Head. That's the spot."

    "Whattaya get at Goat Head, then?'

    "Almost anythin' ya can think of, mate. Snapper, dhufish, mulloway, King George Whiting. You name it!"

    "Jeez. Sounds pretty good!"

    "Yair."

    "So where's Goat Head then?'

    "Mate! About three feet from his @rse!"

    This is the same bloke who used to sell double-gees to seppo sailors in Fremantle for $20 apiece. He used to show them a photo of a Thorny Mountain Devil. He had them convinced the double-gees were eggs!

    I take your point.

    Am I correct in saying Jervis Bay is a body of water, a territory and a town?

    There is a postcode for it, a primary school etc so I gather it is not only a body of water.

    Not that it really matters, we all know where it is and who administers it.
