At the blunt "stern" end of the island there is a mountain with a bare rock summit. The mountain slopes gently down through dense jungle until it becomes level ground towards the pointed "bow" end of the island. On the other three sides the mountain drops more steeply down to the sea in a jumble of boulders and cliffs. Part way between the mountain and the pointed end there is an outcrop of pink rock which runs through the jungle to terminate partway into the lagoon. This flat topped "platform" is used by the boys for meetings. Their shelters and swimming pool are close to the platform.
