Title: Where is it # 81
Post by: Busfanatic101 on November 03, 2014, 07:57:56 PM
Hopefully, this is harder than the previous one. This image was taken from a bus with ads on the windows...


Where is 553?

I can provide a larger image containing a vital clue if this proves too difficult

No, but you've got the right idea  ;)

As this seems to have lost momentum, here is the full photo. Though i think this will just make it way too easy

I have received a PM from a forum member expressing interest for some further clues for this topic which had lost momentum quite a while back...


I would have thought the footbridge in the second image would be a dead giveaway as there probably aren't many around canberra.


Anyway, first clue is that it is on the southside. If the moderators feel there is a need for more clues, they can be provided.

Southside eh? I was definitely on the right track with my guess of a roundabout between Giralang and Crace..

I thought he may have said that because if that soccer stadium(?) where Baldwin Drive meets that other road on a roundabout (not Hayden Drive, the other side. Then those big white poles could have been part of the stadium... Just a thought.

My guess:

Canberra AVENUE near the sports stadium in Manuka. But then again, that doesn't have a footbridge:(

Right track as in you got the roundabout bit.

That is correct. It was operating a 88 back towards Woden. From memory, I think you get to post the next one, King of Buses.
