Poignant would be a more appropriate descriptor to all but a bogan I would suggest. Oh, and that is the first clue - poignant that is.

Clue time. The sculpture can be found on the outskirts of a town in the Western Districts of Victoria. You should not miss it when riding by, the speed sign dictates 70 kph and it can bee seen on Google's Streetview.

Well, sadly it looks like this game has run its course. The pictures give a better view of the sculpture and an explanation of its meaning. The Victorian town is Merino, roughly 1/3 of the way (heading south) between Casterton and Heywood.

After nearly 2 years you're probably right, but, I figured I'd post up another pic anyhow... :grin

Where is it?
It shouldn't be too hard...  :popcorn

I'd be happy to get back into this game provided a "Where is it" lasts no longer than two weeks and answers to locations are reasonable and not so specific that people just give up.

Browsing back to the early days it seems you had to be fairly specific on many of the pics to be correct even back then...

It's a game, surely pics that are a little bit challenging can make it more interesting???

In saying that though, this particular pic shouldn't be too hard...

At the end of the day If no-one takes up the challenge this thread will fade away yet again...  :popcorn

"this particular pic shouldn't be too hard..."

Well, I've narrowed it down to: Most likely somewhere in a water catchment area of one of the 3 Eastern States, our Capital Territory, Tasmania and parts of SA. Possibly WA but I'm not familiar with that State. Most likely a war memorial.

Am I getting close?

Just my humble opinion, but I think pictures like these should include some very basic hints so that one can start one's detective work.

Or, you can always ask like you just have... :grin
In saying that though, it's good you're having a go!  :clap

Re your guesses:

It's not in any of those States/Territories.

Water Catchment? Hmm, it is but it's not water you'd want to be drinking...

War Memorial?  Sort of... :thumb

Good luck, you've done well so far...  :thumbs

Sorry, I misread what you'd said...  I blame Alzheimer's!  :||||

It's in one of the Eastern States... :thumbs

A water catchment of a sort you wouldn't want to drink from says either salt or sewerage, and as it doesn't seem to be straight lines, I will say salt.

'Sort of' a war memorial says it is a commemoration of something colonial, so probably a first landing or something similar. The other option is a ship-wreck, with the story on the big rock, and the memorial list of victims on the front one.

Where about and which one is now someone else's guess.
THERE ARE OLD RIDERS, AND THERE ARE BOLD RIDERS, BUT THERE ARE DAMN FEW OLD AND BOLD RIDERS.

Keep the dirty side down.

It's neither of those...

Pretty much right with your commemoration comment but it's not "colonial....

The other option is a ship-wreck<

It's not a shipwreck, in fact this body of water is not near the coast at all.

>with the story on the big rock, and the memorial list of victims on the front one.

The story and a list of "people" are on the rocks but they weren't victims...

Good luck!  :thumbs

Hmmm, near enough...  ++  :beer

It's Anzac Lookout which indeed does overlook Hazelwood cooling pond.
