You're kidding ...

From post #1 of this thread the idea is to provide a photo of your STeed in front of something iconic ..... or 'easily' identifiable, I don't think that pic, or the damn Foster Dam pic, are in the spirit of the challenge.

Just keeping it interesting, Michael!  :grin

I admit it won't be real easy to work it out but that's part of the challenge...
What I will tell you though...it's in South Gippsland.

As for being in the "spirit", others have reversed photos and photoshopped different names onto buildings, is that in the spirit of the challenge?

As for my Foster Dam pic, that is a legit tourist spot...not my fault you couldn't work it out...  :p

So Rusty, you made a special trip to take that photograph?  I trust there will be some good clues, soon, because there is bugger all to go on at the moment (and just to be clear, South Gippsland is not a clue).

That does narrow it down somewhat, and the answer is the Hallora Public Hall at 200 Brock Road, Hallora.

Correct!  ++

Now for a bonus point can you tell me where that little cemetery photo I posted earlier is?  :whistle
Clue: it's located in the Shire of South Gippsland...

There's a list of cemeteries on the Shire of South Gippsland website.  I suppose one could start there, but it would just be a guessing game rather than using some some more logical, methodical process.  https://www.southgippsland.vic.gov.au/cemeteries

In the meantime, where's this?

Clue time .... if you have been to, or at least have knowledge of, capital cities in the Americas, you probably wouldn't need a clue.

Correct.  I'm assuming good deductive skills, perhaps you can elaborate for the others.

Lima is what could be described as an enigma, it does not have what I would describe as an exact location.  According to a Victoria Places website it is ...

Lima, a rural district, comprises the physical features of Lima Creek, Lima Valley and the smaller localities of Lima East and Lima South. The area is generally 25 km south of Benalla, set in undulating country with numerous creeks. There is State forest to the west and south, part of which is the Warrenbayne State forest.

Lima was the name of a pastoral run taken up in 1839 by William Black and William McKellar. McKellar had apparently visited Lima, Peru.

By 1880 small-farm settlers had come to Lima and schools were opened at Lima (1883), Lima South (1885) and Lima East (1888). A Lima station was on the branch railway line from Benalla to Tatong (1914-47). The locality itself, however, was on neither a main road nor a railway line, and the nearest main-road town is Swanpool on the Midland Highway between Benalla and Mansfield.

Lima was developed as a dairying district, and local farmers assisted in the agitation for the Lake Nillahcootie storage near the headwaters of the Broken River. Dairying and mixed farming are now carried on. All three Lima schools were closed in 1970-71. Lima South has a public hall and a Country Fire Authority station. 

Anyways the old school is located here: https://goo.gl/maps/6ZfrxHdmtq9vm6NXA

And over to you.

Thanks Michael!

I wouldn't have got it without your clue...  :thumbs

I simply looked up a list of the capital cities in the Americas and then it was simply a case of searching for one that was a town/area in Victoria...  :grin

But...the countryside around Kingston just didn't seem to fit with Michael's photo.

As for Georgetown, I figured that was out as I assumed the pic was in Victoria what with all the lockdowns in recent times...  :grin

At the end of the day though, it was still a guess, even if it was a sort of educated guess...  :p

Yes, in Tassie and a Melbourne suburb, and perhaps other States.

But there was another cryptic clue - been --> bean --> Lima beans.  Oh well, I thought I was clever.

There is a suburb of Adelaide, and two towns in SA also called Kingston.
