Gordon Island is the only one in the area which has Coipo, a very savory large rodent which tastes like chicken.

"All men dream: but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses
of their minds wake in the day to find it was vanity,
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act on their dream with open eyes,
to make it possible."
