I've been away from my computer for awhile and have just caught up with e-mails etc,so now humpy2 has given us a clue it looks like the toilet building at Rawson Pass . A lovely spot in summer but not been there in winter as I'm not a big fan of snow.

Well done Foxy, two out of three ain't bad as they say in the song. Here's a photo of a mate doing his 'Foo was here' impression at the sign in 2008. CIMG1779 by viva gt, on Flickr The claim to fame - the highest toilet in the land. And a welcome sight too, I don't think there is a soul who can pass it by. Like you, not a place I want to visit in winter. Over to you.

No replies for ten days so to keep this thread going here here is tehanswer to my photo::: My picture a view of a lake and was taken in Sydney Park which is the third largest park in Sydney. In the north-west corner of what is now the park was a brickworks supplying bricks used widely around Sydmey for over 100 years. At the time the brickworks closed it was owned by Austral Bricks. The chimneys and some of the ovens still stand at the North-west corner of the Park and are heritage listed. Clue 4 refered two roads, one King Street, Newtown the other was the Princes Hwy and the third infrastructure was St Peters railway station.

Spot on SGTL .... It's the chapel in the Seperate prison (A prison within a prison) in Port Arthur. It was used to subdue the spirits of inmates. Built in1849/50 with three wings of cells, itwas designed togive total isolation.

Now now Richard, I was very careful with what picture I put up so that you couldn't zoom in on the sign This little church is in Victoria & still holds services the first & 3rd Sunday of the month.

I have been in this church before but could not remember the location for the life of me, it was many years ago. It's a cute little country church. My uncle used to be the Uniting minister in Mathoura and I remember going to this church with him. So thanks to mr google. I believe it's near Yambuna at Wakiti Creek.

By gum King Fisher, what are the chances of someone actually having been here! Wakiti Creek it is. And it's near Nathalia.

Ok here we go, hope it's not too hard... This is a photo of a little spot I went to not so long ago. There is two things I need to know here: 1. where is it? and 2. what is significant about this house. Good luck

Oh No I've killed the where's this thread, OK so it's time for a clue. Let's start by eliminating 30% of this country by saying that is is NOT in Western Australia. Now let's see if that helps...

Hi King Fisher, I've got no idea really, but I'll take a total stab in the dark to try and move things along... It looks to me like some of the houses on Phillip Island, and that's in Victoria, not WA, so fits the filter you just applied. How did I go? Don Ricardo

Sorry Don it's not Phillip Island, but it is Victoria.
So should be easy now for the seasoned traveler.
Don't also forget to have a stab at it's significance.

Hmmmm, King Fisher. Well at least I've narrowed it down a bit and eliminated another four states and two territories. So...it's a building in a coastal area - probably a town - of Victoria, and it is significant because...it's an iconic design...something famous happened there...it's associated with someone important. I know - King Fisher was born there? How am I doing? Don Ricardo
