confusebiggrinbiggrin Oh come on John, get in the spirit of the game...HINT:  research google history the regions of:- Kalgoorlie in the south to Wiluna in the north, Mt Magnet in the west and Laverton and the Ngaanyatjarraku lands in the east. 

Sorry guys I am off lamb marking and sheep drenching for a bit.  Catch up again by late afternoon    the Gwynnie floating.gif

Gday...

It is interesting trying to locate the places put up ... but rather than just left, right, up or down, some info about the area/place the photo relates to as well is great also ... makes it more interesting and more likely to put in the 'let's go there' book for future.

Jest sayin' hmm

Cheers - John

Hi Reglynn, seems you're the only one who is able to find out where I am at by the hints passed on.   If others put the sentence I wrote  in Google, it would have taken them directly to the location LEONORA WA as it was taken from the web site...Why make it easy...the answer is alway cryptic..... Correct guess Reglynn.... where to know???   Gwynnie   floating.gif

Thanks Gwynnie, it was fairly easy with Dr Google maps with the hints given.

Who would know where this place is, if possible what used to be.
