Hi there Herkman, Recherche is a place on the south east coast of Tasmania, about 20 minutes south of Southport.

You can't get much further south than that except for Cockle Creek maybe

The national Gazetteer of Australia (available on the Geoscience Australia website - see link) is always a good starting point for place names.

Typing recherche into that website gives you this page ==> http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/gazd01?rec=224795

Using the Places feature on this website yield Recherche Bay as a near point AFAIK....the rest of the searching will have to be done by you ;)

Hope that helps,
Andrew
