History
Tinderbox was gazetted as a locality in 1961. The locality is said to be named after a sterling silver tinderbox found on the beach in the 1830s.[2]
Geography
North-West Bay forms the western boundary, D'Entrecasteaux Channel the southern, and the Derwent River the eastern.[3]
Road infrastructure
The C624 route (Tinderbox Road) enters from the north and runs south-west, south, east and north, thus completing almost a complete loop of the locality before exiting in the north-east.[2][4]
gollark: Stock, not with BDA?
gollark: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-580-vs-AMD-R9-380X/3923vs3532I'm using this to get a rough idea of the differences.
gollark: What card did you said you already had though? An R9 390? I don't think the 580 would actually be much better than it.
gollark: Different cooling and slightly different factoy speeds. Also different amounts of video RAM though I think all 580s are 8GB.
gollark: Is that a different picture?
