Just noticed that google earth has upgraded the satellite imagery for Eagle Island, which is on Eyrie reef about 6km from Lizard and has a great flat water spot behind the cay. Now excellent resolution and you can really see all the detail of the reef and the cay.

The little sandbars down the south end of the reef are also very good.

14 deg 41.864'S 145 deg 22.700'E

These couple of pics from 2008








and Lizard of course!

Eyrie reef and Eagle Island are in the background, top of pic closest to middle.

They tell you about the Lizards, but not about all the Snakes and Spiders, not to mention the Sharks, Crocodiles, Stonefish, Stingrays and irukunji jellyfish.

That ought to do the trick

Terrible place, not recommended at all, I hear Fiji is nice this time of year though, Safari Something?

Ruffy, you might have missed the
Lyle's kiting must have really improved if there are no kooks on Lizard.
