Re: Ross Island - Slice of History

Hi @aaryesdee,

 

Thank you for sharing. Rose Island looks great for a trip. Could you share with us more about your experience there? 

 

You might not know this, but Connect has a photo limit and only lets you upload a total of 1000 photos. When creating your post you may want to limit yourself and only pick out the best ones. This way you will not run out of uploads any time soon.

 

By the way, make sure to only share your own thoughts and impressions here, rather than copy information from other sources. Your personal experiences are much more appreciated.
