    Post Dec17/Jan18 Lite Mapping Challenge Interstate Hotel at Flinders Island.

    I am taking a big step, and entering my first challenge. I will be doing the layout of this Hotel in the main town (pop 300) on Flinders Island where I live. Flinders island was first discovered by white men in 1770 by Captain James Cook, and settled first by sealers in 1798, who eradicated the seal population in 35 years, and kidnapped Tasmanian aboriginals as 'wives'. It now has a population of nearly 900. it is situated in the Bass Strait between Tasmania and the Australian mainland, and I and my wife, Trina, have lived here in retirement since 2011.
    Anyway, here is a fotosketch picture of the hotel, and I hope to map both the first and second floors for you - and it has no underground cellar, secret passage or smugglers' den - drat.

    Well, this will certainly be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how you map this one out. Bogie did say you can map out a fantasy version if you want so you could always add a smuggler's den if you wanted to.

    An old inn off the coast of Austrailia,,,,chances are it actually had a smuggler's den at some point.

    I'm looking forward to this one as well

    By the way - I'm very impressed that you can do this in reverse - all the way back through time to last January!

    EDIT: and no sooner did I notice that you put 'Jan 16', then Waldronate changed it for you. 5 star service around here, you know
