I think we are pretty much there now.

I only have a handful I am working through where I want to find a little more information on the original proposal as they are quite broad, so I just want to try to get some specifics.
If anyone is aware of any original documentation of these sites it would be helpful, I have only had a cursory look so far.

Australia:
The South West Of Western Australia (Any specific parts?)
Antarctica (lol)

Spain:
Paisajes y Rutas del Quijote, Castilla-La Mancha (I will start mapping some of the points from the offcial tourist route)
Patrimonio Cultural Judío, Castilla-La Mancha
Nord-ouest de l'Ile de Ténériffe (Any specific parts?)

I think it is probably Garachico and around,
See this in current web site of wonderfultenerife.com.
It seems to be a ghost from long, long ago "Garachico was declared a place of cultural interest, with the category of "Historic Site", by the Canary Island regional government in March 1994. Unesco is also studying the case for declaring it a World Cultural Heritage Site. The route proposed is as follows: · Church of San Roque - Former convent of Sto. Domingo de Guzmán - Hacienda de El Lamero - Convent of Las Concepcionistas Franciscanas (closed convent) - Casa Ponte - Former convent of San Francisco de Asis (Cultural Centre) - Casa of the Marquises de la Quinta Roja - Casa de Piedra - Church and mother house of Santa Ana - Former Puerta de Tierra Park - San Miguel castle."

Hi, I suggest to move the location for the FTWHS for Jökulsá á Fjöllum river corridor and Dettifoss up north. It looks like the original plan involved several areas on Iceland combined, of which Vatnajökull got its own inscription. A better position for the FTWHS would be the location of Dettifoss: 65.8143, -16.3848. Asbyrgi is even further north.

The area referred to must be Kwongan, a significant floristic region in the Australian south west. The area has been mentioned in relation to a potential WH nomination for years.

Thanks both for those ones, I will feed them in.

And it looks like the marker has already been moved for Detifoss

I have now uploaded the full set!
@meltwaterfalls - will you add the final 2 or 3 as discussed above yourself to the system?

As per meltwaterfalls' list, I also will remove 2 FTWHS since they are duplicates:
San Fernando Salt Ponds Duplicate of Salines de San Fernando
Betancuria (Fuertaventura) - Historic Ensemble Duplicate of Ensemble historique du bourg de Betancuria

Yep I can add the remaining ones.

For Antarctica I was going to put a pin in Casey Station which is the nearest base to Australia.

But that means the map for Australia will open even wider than it currently does with Heard and McDonald island.

Should I instead pin it to the Australian Antarctic Division based in an industrial estate in Tasmania?

(It's all pretty academic as it was never really a viable WHS.)
