We made it to Wallace Island. It’s relatively small, but is mostly a marine park. At some point, a reckless and bold American David Conover lived there, raised a family, and ran a resort. He wrote a series of books about it.

(addendum) The son of the resort owner, a Davey Conover, contacted me. See the comments below. How wonderful it is to have a person contact you, out of the blue, who grew up on the island and knows its history. I think it’s great to have a connection to the history of Wallace Island, which I find fascinating.
