Wow again, was coming back to look at this one properly, thinking it might be NZ, but its gone already

This guesses in this weeks as good as they've been, each one from distance leaving the keeper with no chance

146 Campbell St, Hobart, Tasmania

Holy fucking shit I am sitting one block from this, and checked the thread six hours late.

i've been hanging out for an australia photo for a while so i was happy to jump on this one... sorry. pretty sure i've walked down that street as well.

micah, Wednesday, 1 December 2021 01:14 (two years ago) link

Yeah I work in the Medical Sciences Precinct cnr Liverpool and Campbell Sts … insane.

I think of Australia as having very unique foliage and landscape colors

Dan S, Wednesday, 1 December 2021 02:06 (two years ago) link

Hobart is lovely (to visit anyway, living there might be different) and pretty different from what people normally think of Australia (ie it's cold!). I've thought of moving down there but then I look at house prices and yikes

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 1 December 2021 02:12 (two years ago) link

Yeah it went nuts about 5 years ago. Cold? currently 30°C / 84 F, but we had snow down to 300m two weeks ago ...
Hobart's climate is almost exactly the same as the Bay Area.

assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 1 December 2021 02:38 (two years ago) link

I was there one spring and it was bloody freezing! But I'm currently in Sydney so my idea of what's hot and cold is probably warped. Mind you, we've just had one of the wettest/coldest Novembers in history here...

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 1 December 2021 02:43 (two years ago) link

the animals in Australia really freak me out - fruit bats hanging off of trees, snakes, giant spiders, crocodiles

Dan S, Wednesday, 1 December 2021 03:50 (two years ago) link

True, but I have wallabies and pademelons in my back yard every evening, and one morning an echidna bumbling around.

Port, or port city. Multiple monuments

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Friday, 3 December 2021 12:04 (two years ago) link

feels like Mexico

tomorrow, Friday, 3 December 2021 12:49 (two years ago) link

Yeah I thought the shape of the war memorial is very Latin America. Also a statue of a soldier with what looks like either the Virgin Mary or a saint in front of it.

I think the petrol station is PetroEcuador but can't find history of them having a split logo like that.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 3 December 2021 13:21 (two years ago) link

- the second word on that petrol station looks like America to me
- that big brown monument is the crow's nest of a ship, memorial to some big sinking disaster?
- building to the right with the two portals looks more Middle Eastern
- palm trees

StanM, Friday, 3 December 2021 13:47 (two years ago) link

Found the right logo for PetroAmerica in Peru, the O is a globe.

couldn't have done it without aldo though, thank you :-)

Well done team!

Loving the extremely spartan look and concrete street furniture of Plaza Garibaldi, perhaps like that because it is surrounded by a three/four lane road with no visible means of pedestrian access.

newer pics have a fence and guys painting the ground red

Oh weird! I was some way out, I found the same green/white poles in Esmeraldas, Ecuador but couldn't make it work. Mostly because it wasn't there

A fine addition to this weeks great run

specifically it looks like Indooroopilly looking toward Mt Coot-Tha, but if it is then you guys are fucking with me because my uncle and aunt lived in that exact region

assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 6 December 2021 11:40 (two years ago) link

ive never been north of urangan so you're on your own

micah, Monday, 6 December 2021 11:42 (two years ago) link

no, that's further north.

micah, Monday, 6 December 2021 11:43 (two years ago) link

(suburb of Brisbane I mean)

assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 6 December 2021 11:47 (two years ago) link

based on the satellite dish i think the photo is looking north.

micah, Monday, 6 December 2021 11:50 (two years ago) link

specifically it looks like Indooroopilly looking toward Mt Coot-Tha,

the 3d data is good around there and maybe i'm missing it but i can't see anything like the large developments in the middle and to the right of the hill.

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Tuesday, 7 December 2021 10:25 (two years ago) link

So many apartment buildings - must be a big/touristy part of a big city? Not many clues to go on except the truck - the plants feel like they're more tropical than the parts of Brisbane I looked at, maybe?

StanM, Tuesday, 7 December 2021 18:29 (two years ago) link

the steering wheel is on the wrong side for Japan/Okinawa, right? and that 27 wouldn't be in western numbers either - nah, it almost has to be Australia (NZ? not hilly enough around Auckland?)

StanM, Tuesday, 7 December 2021 18:42 (two years ago) link

Japan drives on the left side too, but I think it's Australia/New Zealand too.

Looks like a Norfolk Island Pine behind the truck, which are native to that area, but widely planted elsewhere. Doesn't look fully tropical to me; that could almost be SoCal if you caught it at the right time of year.

nickn, Tuesday, 7 December 2021 18:47 (two years ago) link

i think it could easily be as far north as cairns

micah, Tuesday, 7 December 2021 19:52 (two years ago) link

it's certainly intriguing. there are a lot of very nice hillsides on the eastern side of Australia, I'm learning, but apartment buildings on them? Not so much. Or I keep missing them. But where, then?

StanM, Wednesday, 8 December 2021 18:58 (two years ago) link

Second view needed, or a bit more time with this one?

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 9 December 2021 12:11 (two years ago) link

My gut says it's NZ and somewhere in the Hutt Valley but I can't get any more from the pic.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Thursday, 9 December 2021 12:39 (two years ago) link

... can we get a hint instead of a second pic? :-)
