"Where am I?" Game

[ursus arctos]

It looks more like WA than SA to me

[San Bernardhinault]

90 degrees round. This probably won't help much but I wanted to give you more of a Slovenia type of challenge.

[ursus arctos]

Well, it doesn't look to be inland

[Fussbudget]

Big lol at the map of Australian states. Borders drawn with a big ruler by colonists with no regard for the local topography are always great but I hadn't seen one go the whole length of a continent before

[San Bernardhinault]

There is a sort-of-hint in Ursus's map

[Fussbudget]

I've found some of those distinctive power lines from the first picture in Adelaide for what it's worth

[ursus arctos]

The power company in WS is undertaking a massive campaign to replace them following wild fires.

South Australia is better known for these https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stobie_pole

[San Bernardhinault]

You’re all doing very well except Ursus who keeps trying to steer you wrong.

Ooh, isn't that what the pole in the second picture is? I can't tell if it's just a trick of the light

Heh, now I was convinced the music we played was by Shostakovich ( as in your clip), but on checking, it appears we played the original music by Meisel....! https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...otemkin-review

That's very cool, to be a part of that and to be playing the original score in particular.

One of the best cinema/theatre experiences I've had was a few years ago when I went as a birthday treat to see the 1931 Bela Lugosi Dracula – a film that originally had no music, bar a couple of brief pieces within the actual scenes – being screened at the Wales Millennium Centre, with the score that Philip Glass composed specially for it in (if I recall) 1988, performed live in the auditorium by the Kronos Quartet and Glass himself. It was a unique challenge trying to watch both the screen and the musicians, because both were engrossing, but a fantastic one.

This may or may not help but we are seeing a very pale soil in the photos.

[Sits]

Actually it probably doesn’t help at all, but it’s pretty isn’t it?

[ursus arctos]

Perhaps the kind of soil one would see in the Limestone Coast wine region?

[caja-dglh]

This thread is worth it for the crazy maps.

[San Bernardhinault]

I’m signing off for the night. Anyway, I look at Ursus’s earlier map and think “there’s only one of those wine regions that I’ve heard of as a wine region”. If you’ve made no progress when I wake up I’ll see if I can give you a pic that basically gives it away before I head out on the bicycle.

[ursus arctos]

So it is the Barossa Valley

[caja-dglh]

It's Yellow Tail!

[ursus arctos]

Literally the last Aussie vineyard I would have expected from him

Well played

I was joking - I am trolling around Barossa. There are some sightings of a double-peak hill like in pic 1 but I can't get it to work out. I think it is about there somewhere.

[Sits]

The area around Tanunda looks promising but I’ve not found it.

[Sits]

Oh and point of order, I know lots of other wine regions in Oz. As I should.

Sits - ask yourself, what Australian wine might be served to a man on a country estate having just arrived by sea plane in North America?"

It should cut it down

[ursus arctos]

[S. aureus]

I can't see that, ua

[S. aureus]

I'm feeling a lot like the Slovenia one - I'm pretty sure I've got the general area (not the date this time, mind), but can't quite nail it.
