This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is based in a town called Exmouth in Western Australia. I believe the town was originally created due to the need to service US personnel and their families who were based out there in the 1960's
