Mystery Island (aka Anatom)

Tiny. The sand/volcanic-rock coast can be circumnavigated in under 45 minutes. Trust me, I did it with a belly full of brunch.

Sheltered. A halo of reefs makes it ideal for lagoon swimming, snorkelling or viewing coral from an outrigger canoe.

Uninhabited. Not permanently, anyway. A landing strip was cleared in WW2 which remains in operation (closer inspection reveals it's streaked with tyre marks). There are rudimentary cabins for ultra-adventurous holidayers, and folk from the adjacent isles bring their wares across for boats like ours.

Curious. Breadfruit trees. Piles of pumice. Darting lizards. Four legs and a formidable nipper slipping sideways into a crevice...

Of course, the ultimate enigma of Mystery Island is whether the canary yellow Liverpool "away" jersey I purchased for $12 is a naughty facsimile. It has the Reebok tags and bag, so it must be kosher, yeah? :-)
