Ha Ha !!!  Doug, love your great play on words biggrin biggrin biggrin and I will give you points for your thinking outside the box!  However......this ceremony is held at this jetty in Australia especially....

HINT:    (Write up in the local rage)..... A keen swimmer, 29 yrs old, jumps from the............??? jetty and was first to snatch the coveted cross in the annual Blessing of the Waters, one of the most significant religious events on the Greek Orthodox Calendar. .........

This is held in many places around the world.     Sooooooooo...start researching Amigo!!!

PS:  The building in the background is a surf lifesaving club.

Sorry Gwynnie, did not get a notification of your reply. Yes this silo is in Rochester. One of the newer ones. I believe it was only completed in August this year.

 

Go for it, give us another.

The mountains in the background (one in particular) looks a bit like Mt Warning, so hazard a guess that you might be in the Condong Sugar area of northern nsw
