Can you mark the countries on the map?

Nice use of my photo, although the information I provide in the comments makes it almost certain that the boat is a pearl lugger.
ReplyDeleteI like your exercise of drawing the route the Aboriginals may have take. It does beg the question of how these "primitive" people crossed the gap between Bali and Lombok, which never dried out.
