Grass in foreground is new growth, bus is on the wrong side of the road, camera CMOS sensor needs to be cleaned .

Bruxner Hwy near Alstonville?

Yes, not quite, and yes... I really need to stop letting people borrow my camera.

Not the Bruxner Highway near Alstonville, although getting close.

To give a hint... There's a reason the grass in the foreground is recent growth...

To give a further hint: The bus is not on the wrongside of the road-it's a dual carriageway road.

I'll give this to Andrew seeing as it's been several days and he's within 10 km of the mark.

The location is Pacific Highway, Ballina. On the new bypass.

Post by **Andrew** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 2:39 pm

Oh I didn't realise the new bypass is open!

Sorry I forgot to have another bash at a guess. You can go again....

I have nothing else worth posting... So open floor I guess.

NOT my photo and I can't remember where I got it from so appologies to the Owner

Clyburn?

If not, to narrow it down a bit-is this station still in use?

Geoff · Post by **Geoff** » Wed Feb 01, 2012 10:22 am

Not Clyburn - not enough running lines or workshop areas. My guess is Royal National Park.

21 looks and no-one's had a guess, must be time for a clue. Think track work.

745-Castle Hill · Post by **745-Castle Hill** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 10:55 pm

Somewhere near Oak Flats

Albatross · Post by **Albatross** » Sat Feb 11, 2012 11:18 pm

Telarah Station?

Centralian · Post by **Centralian** » Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:09 pm

Neither - Oak Flats is too far south, and Rah is too far north. The WW11 gun emplacements in the background I thought might be a clue.

Centralian · Post by **Centralian** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 8:37 am

Another clue - what needed protecting during WW11 that you would set up gun emplacements ?

captainch · Post by **captainch** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 10:34 am

nobbys head/fort scratchley.

Centralian · Post by **Centralian** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 8:43 pm

Sorry captainch, not the lighthouse or Fort Scratchley, but I certainly had an interesting read looking up about Fort Scratchley. Too far north. My location ( I'll call it a town) with the gun emplacements (or what's left of them) produced something that would have been a likely target if the Japanese attacked during WW2. Gun emplacements were located at either end of this town to protect from any air attack. The road that the Sid Fogg coach is parked on is a major road, the photo is a little deceptive in that respect.

Geoff · Post by **Geoff** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 9:29 am

Has to be Lithgow.

Geoff.

Post by **Andrew** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 2:42 pm

Looks a bit like the outskirts of Bathurst on the Mitchell Hwy.... near where some car dealers are, but I don't recall any gun emplacements there... so I'm most likely incorrect!

Centralian · Post by **Centralian** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 5:14 pm

Geoff has it, there were about 6 or 7 Sid Foggs coaches parked on the side of the GWH at Lithgow ready for the next days trackwork a couple of weekends ago. The Small Arms Factory at Lithgow was what the gun emplacements were protecting and the one pictured here even had a fake farm built around it to disguise from the air if any scout planes flew overhead. As you head west, just before Lithgow Hospital on the left you'll spot them in the paddock. The other one was near Scenic Hill on the other side of Lithgow and had a fake collection of shops and buildings around it. They weren't needed in hindsight, but with Darwin bombed and Japanese subs in Sydney Harbour one could understand the preparedness. Over to you Geoff.

I would have been way off, my original thought was out near The Station in Jindabyne (or just before it)
