They'll be handy if and when someone post a motorcycle related word with multiple "Q's" in it.

And the next word is HEATED

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #377 on:** May 20, 2018, 07:50:20 AM »

I'm short an E, and I don't recall passing one yesterday.

« **Reply #378 on:** May 26, 2018, 06:26:45 PM »

Watching the gopro videos from last november's trip today and I got to the point where I went through East Ballina, Empire Vale and East Wardell all within an hour or so of each other. Didn't snap one of them.

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #379 on:** May 27, 2018, 06:21:38 AM »

Howlong (new south wales)
Ethelton (south australia)
Anglesea (victoria)
Toowoomba (queensland)
Empire Vale (new south wales)
Donald (victoria)

I am playing the Empire Vale post office as a wild card since there were no signs for Empire Vale. This is the second most smallest post offices I have seen in this country.

Next word: BELT

I thought you could only use each photo once.

I was under that impression too...having said that the locals refer to Wagga Wagga as just plain Wagga so i guess you could use the superfluous Wagga another time

Yaw mad!

This has languished long enough.

Broadwater
Enoggera
Leeton
Tomingly

I've been looking at this Enoggera sign for ages, mustering the courage to get the shot on a very busy road with two lanes each way, no footpath access, no bike lane, no shoulder. Just put on the indicator and hope everyone makes way.

Next challenge (also with a wretched "E")

cables

Bodø · « **Reply #383 on:** July 12, 2018, 10:29:17 PM »

I've exhausted the E's in suburban Adelaide but I have pulled a rabbit out of a hat with Evans Plains, which as I happened to ride past the sign a steed was coming in the opposite direction and was captured by my gopro, so I shall play that as my wild card.

Cunnamulla (queensland)
Akune (kagoshima)
Ballarat (victoria)
Leigh Creek (south australia)
Evans Plains (new south wales)
Shimabara (nagasaki)

ZIP TIE

Could do this except I can't find my Ironbark/Ironbank photo. I know I took one because I needed an I but not sure what folder it is in.

Biggles · « **Reply #389 on:** July 16, 2018, 09:40:08 AM »

Hey Williamson- can we have the "Greta South" photo please? A blank space isn't a Wildcard...

Bodø · « **Reply #390 on:** July 16, 2018, 10:50:43 AM »

I can see it.

Me too! But I'll check the link when I get home.

In the meantime, if other viewers can or can't see the Greta South pic, please post a response. I need to know if the problem is with Mr Big or me.

Biggles · « **Reply #392 on:** July 16, 2018, 11:42:23 AM »

Very odd. I'm using Chrome which is usually reliable. I checked Internet Explorer and it's visible there.
So it's a Chrome problem. Dunno why it's just that one photo, though. Is it hosted at a different place?

That suite of pics are hosted on Photobucket (PB). I usually use PB, have for years and years. Went to IMGBB for a little while around 12 month when PB were playing funny buggers, we have kissed and made up now though. I find PB easier to use than IMGBB.

Biggles · « **Reply #394 on:** July 24, 2018, 06:33:19 PM »

OK Dudes, it's been waiting over a week:

FERNVALE QLD
ILFRACOMBA QLD
LONGREACH QLD
ALLEENA NSW
MOONBI NSW
EVERTON PARK QLD
NEVERTIRE NSW
TUATAPERE NZ SI

Nagashima (kagoshima) * this one has English unlike the last Nagashima picture I posted
Underbool (victoria)

My old photobucket ones are showing up again too, but I haven't opened photobucket since their anti hotlinking stance. These days I use the site that was created by one of the Ozstoc members (well In think it was).
