heatheravan Yes, a great part of iconic Australia. If you get there make sure to take a trip up to Middle Lagoon, Whale Song, Cape Leveque, One Arm Point and Cygnet Bay. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

Maryanne Clark Great pictures .We wish we where there may be next year !!

heatheravan Agreed, one of our favourite spots on the trip.

heatheravan You are right, our tour was also advised it was not allowed in Svalbard. However Svalbard law differs from Norway. Svalbard is governed under the Svalbard Treaty which dates back to the original signatories up to 1925 of Norway, USA, Denmark, France, Italy, Holland, Sweden and Britain (which included Australia, Canada, India and South Africa) in 1925 Japan, Russia, Germany and China joined. Since then another 26 countries have signed. Under their guidance the islands are demilitarised, are a visa free zone and have equal rights to commercial activities, however recognise Norway's Sovereignty. The wash up is that you can mine coal (Russia and Norway) but not build stone cairns.

Rob Awesome!

Rob Interesting, we were told NOT to build them on Svalbard, still did sort of, it was only 6 inches high but looked the real deal in a photo
