Images - are they of Goods Island Light or of Booby Island? Copy/edit from my talk page

Hi Rangasyd. I am certain that the third photo on the Goods Island Lighthouse page showing the view of the island from offshore is not actually Goods Island but is in fact Booby Island which is lies further to the west of Goods Island. I was a visitor to Goods Island this month and the island is much larger and much higher than the one shown in the photo. There are a number of good photos of Booby Island on the web which should assist with resolving the issue although I am not sure whether in one or two instances, negatives or slides have not been reversed. I can only suggest that the large land mass seen behind the island in the photo is Prince of Wales Island or perhaps both P.O.W and Goods Islands. Booby Island is renowned for its Post Office Cave and is roughly 18 nautical miles (33 km; 21 mi) west of the southern group Torres Strait Islands. The other controversy, discovered while attempting to locate images of Goods Island and other light stations in Queensland waters, revolves around the correct name for Goods Island. It was originally named by Captain James Cook in recognition of the gardener, Peter Goode, aboard the H.M.S. Endeavour and should probably more correctly be known as Goode Island I hope this is useful. Leigh Willcox — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.98.214 (talk) 16:11, 29 May 2015 (UTC) .
