Would it be a bit more precise to say that the Torres Strait is situated between Australia's Cape York and the opposing bank on the New Guinea side? i.e. that narrow gap in between. It seems that the Arafura Sea lies between the two land masses, as well. A-giau 13:49, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
excuse me but the man was born in Portugal, which makes him Portuguese. Torres is a Portuguese surname, Torrez is Spanish. He can't be both at the same time. Portugal and Spain were under the same crown in 1607, but were two different administrative territories. Therefore this man is PORTUGUESE.

Why hasn't someone just fliped the image upside down? Is there a reason for keeping north at the bottom? 8472 08:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
