'Tis Linda, in the Linda Valley near Queenstown, in Tasmania. Used to be a copper-mining town. Cheers

 Linda it is Yobarr.

Interesting to hear from you Craig, and that your Nana lived there. Do you have any memories of the town? Perhaps as a child?

 Perhaps Craig would like to take a turn, seeing he had a vested interest in the picture I put up.

 By George, Craig, I've got a wee bit of an idea but I'll leave it for someone else as I don't gave time to monitor replies. Nice picture though! Cheers

No rules to break Craig.... Wee Georgie Wood. Steam Railway over on the west coast of Tasmania at Tullah. We had a lot of fun riding the train.

Hi Craig, I did not realise that you put the houses up as part of the game, thought perhaps you were showing where your Nana lives. I believe the houses are in Gormanston.

Now, for a picture from me. (not in Tassie)

 Mr D did a good job.

The donation camp is good here, Nev at the butcher shop is a treat, Railway Hotel for port with Gratin was very good.

All in all Grenfell Railway RV camping was good.

So, where are we off too now?
