Seems there's not much interest? If Dalhousie is correct perhaps somebody else would like to post a photo?

I don't recall seeing this one. The countryside looks a bit like parts of the Eyre Peninsular though.

 Hi Gayle, Not Eyre Peninsula. Much further West, and it is an Anzac Memorial. Cheers

            Another clue!

Hi Yobarr, I cheated and looked up "WA water tank art" and came up with Yeerakine Rock. We went to WA in 2015 but not to that exact area. Cheers.

Good morning Alan,

It is the dinosaur museum at Muttaburra. It's been a few years since we were there so I googled it, and it says it was completed in 2021, so we must of been there not long after it opened. We were there in the afternoon and that is how the shadows fell. Anyways, over to you now. Cheers.

Not in NSW, it's south of the border in Mexico. With Plain Truths' tip it should be easy.

Hi Alan, The first prime minister I thought of was Menzies. He lived in Japarit Victoria. Don't remember the hotel but did spend a fair bit of time in the Menzies park reading the signs etc, back in June. Cheers.

 You have a fair bit of work ahead of you, Gayle, as there have been around 9 (?) future PMs born in Victoria! Good luck. Cheers
