Where's it gone? I'm sure it was here somewhere.
Sandy island. An island out in the Coral Sea. It sounds delightful. An uninhabited island out in the Pacific Ocean.
Today it was reported that some Australian scientists went off to visit Sandy Island to do some research. They plugged in the coordinates,as marked on their charts, into the ships SatNav and set sail.
They arrived at their destination at night and in some mist. When the must cleared and the sun rose the crew confirmed what the radar showed. The island was not there. Sandy island was in fact just an expanse of deep ocean.
This whole event sounds like an episode of a TV drama. Maybe the island had been there until some survivals of a plane crash had opened the hatch and failed to press a button. Most likely the island had never been there at all.
The scientists were actually quite excited at non discovering the island as there non discovery would change the maps of the world.
Google map update required.
