Hi Ken - the name of the island is actually Centre Island. Cheers, Phil

Looks kind of bare. What's on this island?

There is nothing on Centre Island (small humped island on the right) - it's uninhabited. I believe they have found prehistoric relics on there such as old stone tools etc.

Nearby Ma Shi Chau though (left of centre the shot) used to be deserted until some idiot (now rich no doubt) built an illegal columbarium on it :-(

hi philk, thanks for your info, i called this turtle island because when i was young, the island looks just like a giant turtle from my vantage point back then.  me and the old boys named it just for us.  sorry if other thought i purposely named the island wrong.  my bad.
