Oh, I thought lamp knew. I did a 'save as' and saw the Bundaberg. ;)

Well, I suppose Spex gets it, but really IM deserves huge props for the Wyland thing. And Lamplighter would have gotten it if he had said it.

Anyone who googled whale wall would have come up with Wyland. (A lot of alliteration for anxious anchors placed in powerful posts.) I just did it faster.

Wyland and Whales, hand in fin.

Still don't know where it is ! :neutral:

We need a war with Australia so I can learn the geography of Oz.

No, dude. They have boomerangs!

Bundaberg is a neat little town known primarily to me as the home of the Bundaberg rum distillery, which you can tour. It's also the home to the catamarans that will take you out to one of the southern most islands in the Great Barrier Reef. Fun for snorkeling. The town itself doesn't offer much of anything though. The place is surrounded by sugar cane fields as far as the eye can see. They make rum with it, you see.

I would love to visit there. Someday. (Sigh)

Sorry, I posted the wrong map above...


I suppose it was settled by Germans, or German want-to-be's

I did manage a trip to Melbourne and Sydney years ago, and really enjoyed my hosts.
A couple of them still called England "home", even though they had never been there.
I did learn a lot while there, but still don't have the names pinned into their (special) maps.

ou est?

Our Australian rellies sent us some Bundaberg rum. It was the roughest thing any of us had ever tasted (well, at the time)
As Dad said, the clue should be in the suggestions on the back of the bottle - drink with MILK?!

It's possible it was over-proof rum or somesuch.

Anyway, after their grumbles, I pitched up about a week later, offering to give it another try.
No, sorry. All drunk up.
So it might have been rough - but not so rough they couldn't choke it down!

(FTR, Mum and Dad were used to white rum, which might have been the difference)

It was very rough, as I recall. We got a sample at the end of our tour and had the option of buying some in the gift store, but I declined. It was yucky. But the process was neat. They get the molasses from the sugar cane and then ferment it, of course. The only thing you could actually see was the molasses making process. But the molasses were different from cooking molasses. Thinner, runnier, with weird bubbles and scum. Smelled good though.

Mmmmmm, rum scum.:D

Yo ho ho, and a bottle o'...

...mole asses?

@Spex:: It's a beautiful building, but so far "nada".

Can I get 1 point for finding the rear entrance ? ;)
