I wasn't going to answer as I had to cheat (Google) to find it.

To keep things moving it is a Railway Viaduct over Currawong Creek Harden NSW.

Yes, Thanks Bill B. We had gone to Harden to see the silo art last year and just came across the railway viaduct just per chance. When we go to places we nearly always have a general drive around the town to see what we find. Hope to go back there later this year as they have painted more of the silo.

So over to you Bill B.

Bob,

A good clue.  You should have answered. A fast game is a good game.

I think it is a mural in Gilgandra.  On the Coo-ee March

Thanks Bill.  

Gilgandra has often be an overnight location for us during some of our trips.

I can continue with a mural theme.  See attached:

Where is this one?  Unless someone has painted over it in the last three years.

So a clue. This mural is located in a town in South Australia.

 Another clue.

There are quite a few murals on different buildings in this seaside town.

Is it on the Eyre Peninsula? I recall seeing murals at Tumby Bay about 15 years ago.

Yes Cuppa, Tumby Bay is the place.

Great visiting during the Festival in March. Our last visit was in March 2020 and our earlier visit was around early March 2012. We did not notice much art in 2012, but certainly much more in the 2020 visit.
The Festival has things of interest for many. In March 20202, we enjoyed the festival atmosphere, the street art murals, a show car rally, a horse drawn wagon, and the sea, of course.

Here are couple of the links to see some of the murals and a map. Apparently there are about 20 murals.

Where to next, Cuppa?

Thanks Watsea, it was a bit of a stab in the dark. We were there a day or two before New Year 2009. We had been on the road in our Bus for almost a year & our son came over from Vic ton the Ghan to see the New year in with us a bit further south at Louth Bay. The murals I recall were just various sea creatures . Tumby Bay was trialling a new free camp in the town at the time, on asphalt. 

 

Ok where is this. Some clues to get started. The rock, which has a name, is a very short walk from a free camp established at what has been a fishing camp for much longer, with a number of fishing shacks dotted around the location. I imagine it may have undergone changes since we were there to take this photo in 2009. 

 

Where is it?.jpeg

A bit more info:

Dumowin' is correct - it is Crocodile Rock, although far from crocodile territory.
It is almost coastal but not quite.
In the distance a sandbar which comes & goes blocking the estuary on occasions creating a large & generally shallow lake.

EDIT: I see it is now listed in Wikicamps for $10 per night per person  - so no longer a free camp.

See if this helps.
It is in southern WA & on a 'point' sticking out into the water.
Pelicans love the shallow fishing for Bream.

You are getting very warm. It's a little west of Bremer Bay. Take the road out to Bremer Bay, & turn right about 46.5kms before Bremer Bay.

 Almost, & close enough for me to give it to you. It is Millers Point Reserve. Worth a visit when next in that neck of the woods. The satellite view shows the sand bar which is in the background behind Crocodile Rock. Well done & over to you.

No Takers? No Dart throwers?

I was in queensland, and the water behind me is a fairly newly built dam
