No, not a bad guess, Bowen was very active with these Flying boats and not Queensland.

I was going to let someone else have a turn, but it's been a couple days, so I'll jump in and say Lake Boga. It's an interesting museum. Lake Boga was a Catalina Maintenance Depot. Their silos were painted last year I think it was, so will add it to the bucket list again. Bowen was a flying boat base. Cheers to all.
Just a PS. Silo Art - Rupanyup in Victoria, silos have been repainted completely different from what they were. More for the bucket list.

Thank you Gaylehere
Yes, Lake Boga, Victoria.
I did enjoy and the Museum had been on my bucket list for sometime.
Where are you going to take us?

A new one. The painting goes around to the left on this picture. This one is in a company yard, but there is plenty of off street space to park. Thanks Radar for the Boga photo too.

Yes, It's a pity you can't get the whole picture in one photo.

Hi all, I have a lot going on at the moment, so am going to tell you the answer and let someone else have a go at putting up a photo. My silo photo is near the corner of South Street and Anzac Avenue in Toowoomba Qld. Come and have a look. Cheers.
Yes it is Rupanyup in Victoria. Just wondering - have you seen the silos since they were repainted to a completely different picture? I saw them and the wood carvings in 2023 when we were down that way and before the repaint.
Anyways, over to you and Thanks.
PS. Google tells me the silos were repainted in March this year.

We are camped at a beautiful spot on a river with a very poor mobile phone reception and will place a photo up in a day or two when we go to town.

They have done a nice job on the silo.
I'll kick things along...
A lovely Qld town.
Located on the Carnarvon Hwy.
Not far from Roma.
Lets get things moving, Surat shire hall ?
Yes Alan, it is Surat, a town I have been through many times.
Over to you.
Looks like we have stalled.
Have a go Plain Truth (Alan).
It's now up to you.
Hi Dicko
While watching the evening news last night I saw a bit of the Flooding in the Mid NSW Coast and a scene reminded us of a time we were there.
So here we go. Where are we in amongst the terrible Rain Events?
Got a fair idea Ralph but will wait for someone to have a go.
Ok. That's fine with me. I have about 12 years of posting and answering Pick this Place and have a drum full of places from this page to go and see.
Just trying to keep the page alive.
Good clue.
I'll give it a couple of days to reply as I have just started a new journey.
That is ok, I put the photo up sometime ago and then needed to remind myself of the name of the Dam.
So I googled.
Yes, Gaylehere it is Cowarra Dam at Wauhope mid North Coast of NSW.
Would you like to take us to somewhere else.
Thanks Radar,
Where might I be now.
That would be at Rapanyup, Victoria.
