The surveyors and town planners must've had some grand plans for Pekina.  If you look carefully, you'll see the road and allotment layout overlaying a 2005 aerial pic.



This is typical of many towns laid out in land boom periods.  Mmmmm........... I might start another thread.  Stand by for Boom Towns, feel free to add your own.

Just imagine if the Vatican had a valley.

This clue, a little too cryptic me!  Please explain?
Pekina is correct.  It's on the road to Boolooroo Centre.

Duck = Peking Duck.




























Too busy at work to find a pic, over to Biggles or Pete!

I have exactly the same pic with a much more aesthetically pleasing blue ST in front. Unfortunately it is about the only pic I have with the bike so Ill let this one go through to the keeper.

A lot of signs get painted over in this thread.  This one should be easy.

Well now I'm going with Laanecoorie Lakeside Park at Lannecoorie VIC.

Barham is incorrect . About an hour and a half drive from there 🤓

Google tell's me it's a 1h 42min minute drive to do the 152 km from Barham, I suppose the person driving the Google car doesn't drive as fast as JD.

Clue time ........John Monash built a bridge here🤓

Some interesting reading about the bridge here:  https://digitised-collections.unimelb.edu.au/handle/11343/70302

And here I was thinking your throttle habit might get you into trouble.

Here's and oldie, but a goldie.  My first motorcycle and the back of my first NEW car.  Here I was packed and ready to head to Cairns for my first retirement - more about that later.



The iconic location will be very, very, very hard to pick without some clues, these will come fast and often, and I'll start with one.

1st Clue:

The tall timber picket fence on the opposite side of the road is the property boundary fence of an iconic football ground. 

Extra points for make, series & model of vehicles.
