OzSTOC Photo Puzzles!

The idea of this game is that the posted photo is to be accompanied by a number of cryptic clues, creating a puzzle that must be solved before we can move onto the next photo. Each clue is to be added progressively over a short period of time.

Basically, to solve the puzzle, you have to work out the clues and provide an answer, if you solve it, you get to post the next puzzle.

Puzzle Referee: Sean

RULES:

1.   The photo must include your bike.

2.   They must then go and place the TAG somewhere else (maybe at a lake, or airport, or radio tower, footy ground, pie shop, harbour, or post office etc.) They do this by photographing their bike in front of the place/thing.

3.   The clues must not be so abstract that the average person is unable to solve them. Therefore job or topic specific clues are not permitted.

4.   The clues should begin with a high level of difficulty and then get progressively easier. The main aim of the game is to keep interest flowing and not have the tag stay with one person for a long time. The idea is to make everybody think but not have a brain explosion.

5.   Each successive clue is to be added to the thread within at least every 5 days if the photo has not been solved. The TAG is to be revealed no later than 4 weeks after first being submitted so that the level of interest is maintained.

6.   The use of archived photos is not in the spirit of the game. (The definition of archived is anything taken prior to the previous weekend, acceptation’s can be made if say on a 5 day trip for instance. This will be at the discretion of the appointed referee.)

7.   The location/town is not necessary unless it forms part of a clue. It does not need to be the first clue.

8. When formulating the clues, remember this is a family show.

9. There are no winners or losers, this is all about having a bit of fun!

Still skirting around the issue. All of the guesses have some part in the answer. Look more closely. It is an object that we are looking for.   :think1  :think1

Dang.  I was going to go out and get a pic with Ruby next to a Police car.
Why?
Because I thought the idea was a picture echoing Red, White and Blue.
Saved me that trouble.

Shaun,

Congratulations. The clues were leading to the flag. Not necessarily the Australian flag specifically, however close enough for the prize. Next find a "new" photo with your bike and post it up for the fun to begin again.

The Union Jack and Southern Cross were only part of the answer, therfore the clarification "Two minds are better than one if you get my point" was to prompt the amalgamation of the two guesses.

Although I am abstaining from the competition, would I be right in thinking it has an Australian flavour?   :think1

Not relevant to answer. The photo was, however, taken within the confines of the Australian Commonwealth.  :whistle

Maybe. 
I can see it.  An odd sandstone structure near the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
