Where Is It? #56

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
