Great article, but could we have a map of the route, please? It'd really help to envisage the length of the journey. 86.133.211.60 ( talk) 10:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC) reply

I'll second that - great article, and a map would make it even better! 87.112.185.167 ( talk) 17:06, 8 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Added map to the article, hopefully this helps enrich the article further for others? (And added citations that hold superior references and maps in their own sources (Ref #1's Memoirs and Ref #2 are both excellent). I'll remove the request tag now from above as long as that is okay with everyone? DigitalExpat ( talk) 12:40, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Updated the link for Rex Clifton's report ( mastermariners.org.au has it as 404 ). If it was to be back on mastermariners.org.au, it counted 8,731,431 Alexa on mastermariners according to http://siteexplorer.info/domain/mastermariners.org.au, just before I refreshed that last. -- Askedonty ( talk) 14:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC) reply
