The Island of Long Island is for sale for $1.25 million.
Long Island - 8700 acres - US $1,250,000
This private island is immense, so big, in fact, that there are actually 4 countries in the world with a
smaller surface area! Situated off the coast of central Queensland between the towns of Mackay and Rockhampton, 20 nautical miles (37 km) from the Great Barrier Reef, Long Island is one of Queensland's largest coastal islands. Open grasslands, forests, and a beautiful coastline characterize the island. There are 4 sandy beaches, one of which is 4 km (2.5
miles) long, and the water temperature remains at 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) all year long. Much of the island
is suitable for agriculture, with over 4000 acres (1620 ha) of fertile soil. A 4-bedroom house is
present on the island, along with a private airstrip.
The cost is a mere $144 per acre.
The custom of displaying the heads of dead tyrants on pikes was borrowed from the ordinary, if barbaric, exhibition of the severed noggins of criminals by the King.
It was often done to ease the fervor of the howling mob for vengeance. The head was displayed upon high to assure the people that the blackhearted devil was dead. The adoption of the King's methods by revolutionaries should surprise no one, and these acts can be condemned or justified for similar reasons.
In future, I would appreciate it if you did not ping me to a thread unless you wish to dispute or discuss a matter of substance.
You are not my friend; do not presume some spirit of jocular collegiality.
