It is right there?

This is based in a town called Exmouth in Western Australia. I believe the town was originally created due to the need to service US personnel and their families who were based out there in the 1960's

This is a joke about your title missing "who"

Actually, it's in a Brooklyn prison.

Looks more like a summoning circle to me.

Or a massive transmutation circle...

The PM disappeared whilst swimming (and there was a conspiracy theory that he had been a spy from China and was picked up by a submarine before the net closed in). If the communication station also mysteriously disappeared, that would be quite a coincidence.

The US did name a warship after Holt, though. It served for a few decades, then was decommissioned and sunk as a target in exercises.

This place is so remote, the average bloke from WA doesn't even know it exists.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

The pool is funnier.
