not the Southport I know.............it's not posh enough to be our Southport.

Goodness our Southport has grown.....last time I was there were only a few wooden boats tied up to a rickety old wooden planked siding waiting for the tide to come in  just by the creek that drains into that other water hole that Cookie called the Pacific Ocean......or have they renamed that bit of water too?

Year & we all know that bloke only too well  ...was he not the Skipper of that old Collier called the Earl of Pembroke?  .......

He sighted the Creek I mentioned earlier this morning......probably a little taken back by our burning OZ sun ...as he christened it Southport Creek.....which is a conundrum because he was actually sailing North.....so the name of the Creek should have been Northport

Obviously a sailor not too well versed with his left & right 

Well that my story anyway...until I find a History teacher to correct me otherwise.....Derek
