Don't know where Gwynnie is - so lets presume she means Winton. It is not Winton nor Queensland.

You are right there Gwynie -interesting opposite to Cable Beach, that's for sure.

Broome

For nature of a more historical kind, nothing gets much more ancient than the 130 million year old Dinosaur Footprints which can be seen at very low tides at Gantheaume Point. Although most sights of dinosaur footprints host no more than 3 different types of footprints, footprints around Broome have identified the following species;
Stegosaur
Sauropod
Wintonopus
Theropod
Megolosauropus Broomensis


Footprints can be viewed at Gantheaume Point at tides below 2.16m. As the rocks can be slippery and steep, we recommend a high level of mobility and sturdy shoes are required. It is not recommended to attempt to find the footprints once it is dark.

Thanks Jules,

Thought I recognised the red/brown coloured rock formation in your photo- a dead giveaway if you've been at that location.  I am still in transit on the 'Great Ocean Road' heading for Adelaide.  What location would you find this structure?  And what does it represent? Gwynniefloating.gif 

What is this and where would you find it..JPG

Sorry guys, everyone's guess is in the wrong part of Australia.  Also not whale bone representation but something a bit more mystical.

HINT: The wooden artwork is the artist's impression using tree knolls to create tree spirits representing her Aboriginal ancestry!   Gwynnie  floating.gif

Wonderful Stick-insect Sculpture Gwynnie.   Hope you don't mind, but I've saved the Pic.

Would this have been in Tasmania ?

Hi Gwynnie, we missed the north west when we were there about 2 years ago because there were bush fires there but there will be another time.

This should be easy where is this.Where is this.JPG

Looks more like a Sikh temple than a mosque.

 Oh dear! Sorry if I have offended anybody, the literally hundreds of times that I have seen that building, always took it to be Mosque. As the question was "Where", I'll continue.

Where would this Country Hotel be?

Hi guys,

This would be the New Norcia Hotel on the Great Northern Highway in WA ?  I drove past this on my last gold fossicking trip out to Sandstone in WA.   Gwynnie  floating.gif

 Sorry Alan I saw Woolgoolga and I must have skimmed the rest. Yes it is a Sikh temple, the people there were very nice and they invited us in for a look. There was also a festival on the sea front and an Indian man in traditional dress at one of the food stalls said to me in a very Australian accent some thing like "G'day mate you would take me for an Indian wouldn't you" I had a chat with him and his family has been in Australia for generations. Unfortunately the chicken curry didn't agree with me but my wife had a nice meal.
