Irisbus Rider · July 20, 2009, 08:41:15 PM

Ok, where is 308?

Street 'n Suburb thanks.

Bus 400 · July 20, 2009, 10:09:31 PM

Casey Crescent NARRABUNDAH

Irisbus Rider · July 20, 2009, 10:14:12 PM

Unfortunately, not there, sorry.

smitho · July 20, 2009, 11:47:44 PM

Ainsworth St, Mawson?

Bus 400 · July 20, 2009, 11:51:12 PM

A street in a suburb in Canberra that has a bus on it

Snorzac · July 20, 2009, 11:59:17 PM

Isn't that near the mint on the 932? I have no idea what the street name is, and the ACTION map isn't helping

Do you mean Novar Street/Schlich Street/Hopetourn Circuit YARRALUMLA?

Snorzac · July 21, 2009, 12:05:39 AM

yep. Out the front of the old Embassy Motel that was recently demolished. The hedge and road surface look familiar

You are correct there TP3000! It is actually on a street that has regular route services on it 7 days a week.

Irisbus Rider · July 21, 2009, 04:45:39 PM

Sorry, not Ainsworth St Mawson, or Hopetoun Cct Yarralumla.

Snorzac · July 21, 2009, 05:00:14 PM

Damn it looks familiar!! I am thinking somewhere in Anslie

Irisbus Rider · July 21, 2009, 05:08:10 PM

Quote from: Lemon on July 21, 2009, 05:00:14 PMI am thinking somewhere in Anslie

And which street in Ainslie would that be?

Snorzac · July 21, 2009, 10:30:53 PM

Officer Cres. ?

I really have no idea. I have seen that hedge before though, I'm sure of it

Irisbus Rider · July 21, 2009, 10:36:28 PM

Apologies, not Officer Cres.

Snorzac · July 21, 2009, 11:25:03 PM

Majura Ave

Irisbus Rider · July 21, 2009, 11:27:06 PM

Sorry, not there either.

Snorzac · July 21, 2009, 11:28:47 PM

Phillip Ave.

Irisbus Rider · July 21, 2009, 11:29:44 PM

Nah, not Phillip Av either.

Ed · July 22, 2009, 12:09:48 AM

Bremer St, Griffith

Irisbus Rider · July 22, 2009, 12:13:25 AM

Not Griffith, sorry Ed.

Bus 400 · July 22, 2009, 12:54:59 AM

Campbell Street AINSILE?

smitho · July 22, 2009, 11:42:09 AM

If it's not casey St, Narrabundah then it'd have to be MacFarland Cres or Eggeleston Cres, Chifley.

Irisbus Rider · July 22, 2009, 01:57:45 PM

Not Campbell St Ainslie, or MacFarland Cres or Eggeleston Cres, Chifley.

Bus 400 · July 22, 2009, 04:40:07 PM

Wakefield Avenue AINSILE

Irisbus Rider · July 22, 2009, 05:25:32 PM

That's a no for Wakefield Av, sorry.

Bus 400 · July 22, 2009, 05:48:51 PM

It looks so much like Mugga Way RED HILL

Irisbus Rider · July 22, 2009, 06:30:29 PM

Not Mugga Way in Red Hill.

Bus 400 · July 22, 2009, 06:46:23 PM

Cox Street AINSILE

Irisbus Rider · July 22, 2009, 08:23:49 PM

Aint on Cox St in Ainslie either.

Buzz Killington · July 22, 2009, 08:38:15 PM

Stab in the dark, Tallara Parkway in 'bundah?

Irisbus Rider · July 22, 2009, 09:48:42 PM

Not in Tallara Pky in Narrabundah either.

For this one, a clue is the roadbase. It's dirty, right? That's a clue there!

Busnerd · July 22, 2009, 11:01:35 PM

Aah, so it must be in Belconnen then

Buzz Killington · July 23, 2009, 05:19:58 PM

Osburn Dr Macgregor?

Irisbus Rider · July 23, 2009, 08:06:09 PM

Lol, I was hoping no-one would take Mats post seriously, but you obviously have Buzz. So, in other words, that's a no.

Buzz Killington · July 23, 2009, 08:21:15 PM

I didnt even see his post before!

smitho · July 23, 2009, 11:21:54 PM

Ebden in Ainslie?

Irisbus Rider · July 23, 2009, 11:29:57 PM

Not there either, sorry mate.

Look, none of these guesses are really "outside of the square", when you'll guess correctly, then you'll understand what I've been trying to say. Really, think far outside of the square.

Bus 400 · July 24, 2009, 12:17:34 AM

Beasley Street TORRENS

But Chris_Guru said I was correct before & I don't get what you mean

You said "A street in a suburb in Canberra that has a bus on it", that part is correct!

It is not in Torrens!

Once again it is a street that has a 7 day a week service, however the section of the street serviced during the week is different to that serviced on the weekend, however this does not miss any bus stops and is the only location i can think of in Canberra that has this occur.

smitho · July 24, 2009, 09:43:55 AM

If "the section of the street serviced during the week is different to that serviced on the weekend....but .... this does not miss any bus stops" ......how can this be?

The Love Guru · July 24, 2009, 09:51:05 AM

All will be revealed once someone gets it right!

Barry Drive · July 24, 2009, 11:23:39 AM

So, to recap, the following streets have been ruled out:

Casey Cres, Narrabundah (even though no such street exists - presumably meant Caley Cres)
Ainsworth St, Mawson
Hopetoun Cirt, Yarralumla / Deakin
Officer Cres, Ainslie
Majura Ave
Phillip Ave
Bremer St, Griffith
Campbell St, Ainslie
Macfarland Cres, Chifley
Eggleston Cres, Chifley
Wakefield Ave
Mugga Way, Red Hill
Cox St, Ainslie
Tallara Parkway, Narrabundah
Osburn Dr, Macgregor
Ebden St, Ainslie
Beasley St, Torrens

Based solely on Chris's clue, my guess would be Newman-Morris Cirt in Oxley as it's the only street I can think of that has a 7 day service which is serviced differently during the week than to the weekend but doesn't miss any stops.

Irisbus Rider · July 24, 2009, 11:44:17 AM

Not on Newman Morris Cct in Oxley, sorry. but you're definately thinking the right way about it.

Although, the location doesn't have any aditional stops to pick up at on during the week, it just goes a little bit further up the street than on the weekend.

smitho · July 24, 2009, 06:45:15 PM

Hmm, this is the most interesting one I've see for a while!

Buzz Killington · July 24, 2009, 06:46:20 PM

Wisdom St Garran?

Irisbus Rider · July 24, 2009, 06:47:10 PM

Not on Wisdom St, Garran.

lukeo25 · July 24, 2009, 06:54:09 PM

Waldock st chifley

Irisbus Rider · July 24, 2009, 06:56:10 PM

Not Waldock St in Chifley.

Bus 400 · July 24, 2009, 07:50:59 PM

Procter Street CHISHOLM

Irisbus Rider · July 24, 2009, 08:30:08 PM

Not Proctor St in Chisholm.

Buzz Killington · July 25, 2009, 03:27:50 PM

Miller St O'Connor?

Irisbus Rider · July 25, 2009, 03:47:59 PM

Not Miller St in O'Connor.

Time for a clue; the weekend portion of the route on this street is serviced by an Xpresso (on weekdays obviously)

Buzz Killington · July 25, 2009, 04:21:44 PM

Damn you and your popular threads with hard to guess images! my record is going to get beaten!

Snorzac · July 25, 2009, 05:16:57 PM

Then why did you post that? You are only getting him closer to the record

Buzz Killington · July 25, 2009, 05:21:38 PM

He's gunna get there anyway

unless some posts just happen to mysteriously disappear...

The Love Guru · July 25, 2009, 09:58:19 PM

How many more posts does he need?

Bus 400 · July 25, 2009, 10:01:40 PM

This "Where Is It" has now beaten the record with my post

Deamer Crescent RICHARDSON

Irisbus Rider · July 25, 2009, 10:15:08 PM

Not Deamer Cres Richardson.

You're all not taking note of the clues, dirty road, Xpresso, weekend and weekday differations.
And whatever you do, please, think outside of the square.

If this thread keeps going like this, a different angle of the bus will be posted.

Ha ha at the presumably french person in that picture.

Buzz Killington · July 26, 2009, 10:26:45 AM

its Dick Dastardly, famed for his moustache twirling.

The Love Guru · July 26, 2009, 11:22:20 AM

Next clue

This street has recently (as of february this year) had a change to the number of buses that service it.

Irisbus Rider · July 26, 2009, 11:36:14 AM

Ok, a review of incorrect guesses, this time, by suburb.

The photo was not taken in the following suburbs;
Narrabundah
Mawson
Yarralumla
Deakin
Ainslie
Dickson
Watson
Downer
Griffith
Chifley
Red Hill
Macgregor
Torrens
Oxley
Garran
Chisholm
O'Connor
Richardson

Aren't too many suburbs left lol.

Recapping the clues;
-"Dirty roadbase"
-"It is a street that has a 7 day a week service, however the section of the street serviced during the week is different to that serviced on the weekend, however this does not miss any bus stops"
-"The weekend portion of the route on this street is serviced by an Xpresso (on weekdays obviously)"
-"This street has recently (as of february this year) had a change to the number of buses that service it."
-"Closest where is it guess so far: Narrabundah".

And one of the biggest suggestions I can give is to think outside of the square.

Here's the photo for page 2;

Guess away!

Buzz Killington · July 26, 2009, 12:10:04 PM

Newcastle St Fyshwick?

Irisbus Rider · July 26, 2009, 01:18:00 PM

Not Newcastle St. But Fyshwick is correct.

Bus 400 · July 26, 2009, 01:32:23 PM

Lithgow Street FYSHWICK

smitho · July 26, 2009, 02:05:54 PM

The Street opposite the market at right angles to Canberra Ave (Nyrang St I think its called).

smitho · July 26, 2009, 02:09:49 PM

Or more likely, Mildura St --- there have been a lot of muddy trucks coming out of the Market redevelopment site, the reason for the dirty road.....

smitho · July 26, 2009, 02:51:43 PM

or could it be Wentworth Ave, near the new construction site there?

Irisbus Rider · July 26, 2009, 02:57:31 PM

It is indeed TP3000s guess, the photo was taken on Lithgow St prior to commencing a 980. Good work there, hope all
the clues now makes sense!

smitho · July 26, 2009, 03:43:50 PM

well done TP 3000!

Bus 400 · July 26, 2009, 04:31:42 PM

Yay, I would like to thank those that gave the clues.

Is "Think Outside The Square" a slogan for a company near there?

Irisbus Rider · July 26, 2009, 05:12:53 PM

No, think outside the square was supposed to indicate it's not a suburb in a town centre as such.

Irisbus Rider · July 26, 2009, 09:48:21 PM

Here's the original shot, as you can see, it would have given it away instantly.

Yes, I know editing it was quite sneaky, but it was a major clue, and no rules were bent in this process.

Enjoy!

Bus 400 · July 26, 2009, 10:17:56 PM

It still doesn't look like Fyshwick. The building at the back of the bus looks like an older style house.

Irisbus Rider · July 26, 2009, 10:35:26 PM

I would have thought the cement factory in the background, and that big conbeyor would have given it away as an Industrial suburb.

Yes, it is an old house, as this part of Fyshwick was built in the 50s/60s. But it has a front fence, which is not allowed in the ACT (Is that correct or a myth?), so that ruled out most of suburban Canberra.

I can now think of another location where this occurs. But I won't say where - might save that for another 'trivia' quiz.

The Love Guru · July 27, 2009, 01:29:43 PM

Wentworth Ave is another possible contender, as is Katherine Ave at Amaroo
