Morning all,
I have just finished reading a book about the life of Sir Charles "Chilla" Kingsford Smith.

As I often do when reading books with Australian landmarks, I try to find them on Google Maps to try and fathom the isolation of many of these places.

This one has escaped me. Coffee Royal... the place where Smithy ditched the Southern Cross on a flight intended to go to England but ending up somewhere near Wyndham when things went pear shaped.

For a moment there I though I was on a winner with thread 30055, however, the thread deteriorated and ended up as a cheerio with no given co-ordinates.

The site has many new members and visitors now since the original thread was posted, so I'm hoping someone will know the answer to my question.

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully respond.

Fab.
