This one is probably too hard but it was all I had, and anyway we may as well keep things rolling



Where was I standing when I took this photo/video

HINT: EMU59 is the trailing unit

Just tell me if it is too hard or you want a clue.

You have it Albion1881, I was going to white that out but I thought that there weren't many other clues.

EMU59 was with EMU13 on a Ferny Grove service at Salisbury. (Two clues ago EMU13 near the same place)

Sorry PRT065 you are INCORRECT, but good guess.

Over to you Albion1881

That is hardly fair. I didn't bother because I thought Strathpine was correct. Could you please just stick to Where is It file names.

Actually it is fair as there are no boundaries to what he could put the file name as! He could name it anything, busdrivers.jpg, fluffypuppies.jpg, woodridgestation.jpg, just because he named it as Strathpine doesn't mean it HAS to be taken from Strathpine. The fact that you got fooled shows that you tried to cheat :P What WOULD be unfair is if you were right and he changed the image to somewhere else.

I can't believe I am the first person to say this, but it's spelt "Incorrect" not "incorect".

I was going to say that, but then some one would have got up me for nit picking.

Back when this 'game' started there was rules and regulations, maybe they should be bought back and enforced. Misleading the 'players' is not the most credible thing to do IMO.

It may not be "legally" wrong but its not exactly a nice thing to do. I had a think for a good 15 minutes and was going to put Bray Park before realising why Noel had guessed Strathpine.

Sometimes the most obvious choice isn't the correct one, and there is no harm in guessing so if I were you I'd have guessed anyway :P

It may well be unfair... But it isn't against the rules. There can be different ways for a "where is it?" picture to be deceiving, not just in the file name. Somebody who has a bus for their picture could change the desto to show a different place... It's all part of the challenge, really. And that challenge isn't about reading what the desto says, or in this case, what the file name is. It's actually about guessing where the photograph was taken, hence the name "where is it?". And Noel, the guidelines that I wrote for this forum last year were largely based on those written by Deano back in 2005, and the rules back then didn't have anything against this sort of thing, so it was still "legal" even back then, in the times of Articulated Eddy moderating this section and The Lunch Room.

Boo Hoo - Sir Joh got it, so let's just accept that there was some legal trickery at play - not against the rules - and wait for the next image.

Manley Street, Outside the Caboolture East Primary School. The bus is parked in a little turn around. You can see the tennis/basketball courts of the school behind the bus.
