On the northern side of Mornington Island is a bar...a beer selling hut Walk down the dirt track, south, behind it for 500-750 m and you will notice a tree appears to be in the middle of the track Where the track turns right (West) there is a can of coke buried at the base of that tree

Agreed. I did a couple of years up there in the 80's. Bananas not so bad but our Tiger prawn bi-catch was shameful. Tonnes of discard per night for 200 kg of prawns. I'd hoped something has changed!
