Somewhere in Tuggeranong, the roadbase gives that away, a two lane road with arrows, so probably just before an intersection, so is it Tavener St Oxley/Waniassa?
Title: Re: Where Is It? 54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 05, 2009, 11:36:38 AM
No

And the correct spelling is Wanniassa.

And Taverner.

You can probably tell I'm not from Tuggeranong, with it's Scallop St and what-not.

In that case, Erindale Dr, near the Harricks Cres/Amsinck St intersection?

There looks like some biggish building behind you & some sort of seat to the rear of the bus, so I'm going to say Coyne Street MACARTHUR
Title: Re: Where Is It? 54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 05, 2009, 02:23:50 PM
Not Ashley Dr or Coyne St.
Title: Re: Where Is It? 54

The background looks like Swinger Hill, but the road doesn't, so, just a guess;
Ainsworth St, Swinger Hill?

No
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 09, 2009, 08:03:45 PM
Clue: South of the lake.

It took me about thirty seconds but I worked it out...I remember getting the bus from there...

(edited the rest - it was a bit of a big clue)
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 09, 2009, 08:33:38 PM
Yeah, you should have a copy of the photo.

(might get you to post the full photo once somebody gets it - otherwise i might have to stuff around getting it off my external, i accidentally saved the cropped version)
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54

Harricks Cres (just before the roundabout of Erindale and Harricks/Taverner and just after Hebblewhite)

Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 10, 2009, 08:01:21 PM
No.

Most of the guesses thus far haven't been very far off at all
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 12, 2009, 07:32:10 PM
Okay, clearly this was harder than i thought!

It's not in Wanniassa or Monash.

another clue: its not Gowrie either!
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Irisbus Rider on July 14, 2009, 11:03:52 AM
Would it be Boddington Cres just before Drakeford Dr in Kambah?
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 15, 2009, 06:57:54 PM
Nope, sorry. You're on the right track... in a way.
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Irisbus Rider on July 15, 2009, 07:16:24 PM
That's my line for 'not even close' lol.
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 15, 2009, 07:28:13 PM
Think outside the box about that clue.

sulwood dr near the parkway building
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54

namijita (bad spelling sorry) dr near stirling
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 15, 2009, 10:04:51 PM
that would be north, so no.
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 17, 2009, 09:13:32 PM
CLUE SUMMARY
- South of the lake
- South of the parkway
- Not Wanniassa, Monash or Gowrie
- Irisbus Rider's first post in the thread has fairly accurate observations (except for his guess)
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Bus 400 on July 17, 2009, 09:38:56 PM
How can it be South of the Parkway if the Tuggeranong Parkway is a north-south road?
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 17, 2009, 09:49:59 PM
Because the parkway ends at Sulwood Drive.....
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Irisbus Rider on July 17, 2009, 09:52:52 PM
Sternberg Cres on the Fadden/Gowrie side?
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54

Note reply #20 and #21
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Irisbus Rider on July 17, 2009, 09:57:54 PM
Ha ha, of course, in that case;
The only other place I can picture it is one of my previous Where Is Its, Harricks Cres Monash?

Although not *quite* at the intersection, Ed's got it!
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Ed on July 19, 2009, 08:36:20 PM
The best where is its are usually the most obvious. Like you said, the building's reflection gave it away.
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 19, 2009, 08:41:37 PM
The road markings were the biggest giveaway. But if you're a northsider, it is a bit of a hard one.
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Bus 400 on July 20, 2009, 12:25:38 PM
What put me off is that the street has recently been resealed, so those line markings are non longer there
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Busnerd on July 20, 2009, 08:46:07 PM
Yeah, but you've got to remember that it has an ad for ING on it! Those were on buses at least 2 or 3 years ago.
Title: Re: Where Is It? #54
Post by: Buzz Killington on July 20, 2009, 08:48:35 PM
and with that post, this is now the longest where is it? thread we've ever had!

and now we'll see how john goes with #56!
