That close you take first prize Gwennie. It is actually the Nan Tien Temple. I found it to be so peaceful when I was there. One of the places that are in my memory bank for life.

Thanks Dougwe, sorry about the incorrect first name.... I'll blame it on the dyslexic typewriter.   In what location would you find this National engineering logo?  I will put up two (2) photos to help identify the location.   Gwynnie  floating.gif

With no replies all day, maybe a hint is needed.

A small one first up.

You need to be in VIC and rugged up if you visit this place in winter.

No, sorry mate. It's been a pub for many many moons.

I'm pretty sure you would have seen it for sure.

T'other small clue...

If you look at a map of VIC, put a line across the middle from one side to the other then another line in the middle from top to bottom, this little gem is on the top right section smile hmm

Take first prize Bill.

A lovely little pub in the sticks.

My late wife grew up in this pub from 3 to 18 years old, her family owned it, many moons ago now. The lived in the R/H end looking at the pic. The last time I was there, around 8 years ago and time that pic was taken there were still family pics on the bar wall. I think I heard new owners finally took them down.

Pic away Bill.



Keep Safe on the roads and out there.
