Discussion of OzSTOC Photo Tag

[Biggles]

I did consider a photo of an ST on tv as the next tag, but there's not too many opportunities for them 

Skite!   

Good pic, but.


Even just the top bit of an ST looks good.

No old pubs in Darwin, they've all been bombed, blown down or bulldozed......

Pick your oldest pub, and let's see if we can keep this game moving.

I would if I could ride at the moment.  Out of action for 4-6 weeks, in a moon boot with a tear to my Achilles

Hey Williamson,   take a look at the rules for the Photo Tag Game at http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=4216.0

"No ARCHIVED pics allowed - must be freshly taken photographs!" to quote the rules, so I'm suggesting both your 2014 and 2015 photos fail to comply.   I was caught out by this rule quite early in the game.

My archives go back to the last century.

Okay, so I've gotta get an ST pic in front of an "R" town sign or two, as well as pics of the ST in front of an old pub, and in front of something else.

Dang!  This will have to wait until my next ST arrives.

I'm 9 days without one...

Did you defarkle your ST prior to its departure?

Definitely.  I left the Cruise Control,  Grip warmers and Airhorn on- all too much trouble to remove.
My next CC will be all electronic after having the vacuum line pinch way too many times.

It took me quite a while to find a Temple in a suitable location, and really love the look of the local Hindu Temple that was secreted in a suburban backstreet.

Bugger, missed the one with the bus shelter, no tunnels or stone bridges up this way

The bus shelter was easy, and I was going to make my next challenge a Vineyard, but thought it would rule out everyone in the northern half of Australia, so it was a stone bridge.   
How are you surviving the heat?   My niece from Darwin arrives tomorrow, and is whinging about our "cool" weather already, as she needs a jumper when the temperature  dips below about 29.

It's quite chilly today, only 26 degrees at the moment, I've been in a jumper all day.  We have a nice monsoon trough sitting just off the coast :)

A balmy 28^o here today.

A bit short on stone bridges up here- Qld is too young.  Might have to wait for Diesel- there's plenty in southern Tassie.
Or even Sydney has a few out west.  We do have vineyards in Queensland- commonly out in the Granite belt, but actually one at Ocean View on Mt Mee and one on Mt Nebo.

I'll let the Stone Bridge sit for a while.   If nobody tags it, I'll tag it myself, and then set a new and easier challenge to keep the game rolling.

[Biggles]

All good mate, it isn't easy to think of something distinctive.  We've all got traffic lights etc.
(In fact I've got waaaay too many if anyone wants a few).  I'm a roundabout kind of guy.  You know- use your own intelligence rather than some blasted electric box that can't see there's no traffic for miles on the cross road, but makes me wait for ages, then changes the lights before any more than 3 of us can get through!   

[StinkyPete]

To keep the game moving, I'm prepared to accept a Stone Wall, instead of a Stone Bridge.   

[StinkyPete]

Bump!    Can anyone tag a Stone Bridge or a Stone Wall?   

[Williamson]

A stone bridge, and the Mighty ST's touring partner in Tassie a few years ago.

I trust you are enjoying your holiday.        Unfortunately I don't think you photo will qualify, as the rules state..  "No ARCHIVED pics allowed - must be freshly taken photographs!"   However it's a great pic what I think is "Spikey Bridge"   This might be another challenge that will need to wait until you come home.

[WendyL]

I spotted one that may suffice this week while in the cage. I'm going for a ride tomorrow so will take a pic then 😋

Must read the rules, in the meantime:

 

Yes, the Spikey Bridge is just off the Tasman Highway, a bit south of Swansea.

I'm out of the search for an "Embassy" photo, as there are no embassies in SA.   There are however,  a number of international consulate offices.

Embassy, Consulate or any old colourful, run-down building, two storey building will do.
