That is so lame!
Ask the better question.
There are three islands in the picture.
They are called Faith, Hope and Charity respectively.
In the late 1880s one was the brothel, one was the tavern and one was the cemetery.
Which was which?

The brothel would have been a poor business prospect. Perhaps that was on the island called Charity?

If they were smart.....The tavern would be closest to shore, then brothel, and as you don't want to visit the cemetary, it should be the farthest from shore.

Initially I thought it may of been in the South Passage off Steep point. But on reflection I am thinking Coral Bay...

I just showed a mate who picked it for Mauds straight up. The windmills gave it away for him...

Here is my contribution

We anchored almost directly opposite to your pin drop. But you have the right island.
The bay you have dropped the pin on is absolutely stunning, however this photo was on a high tide. On a low tide most of that water is gone ????

I need to stand corrected. I thought FR pin dropped on the bay on a low res image. Just checked on Google Earth and he is bang on.

We we are in the infinity pool on Cookatoo Is in the West Kimberly's.
