Where Is It? #51

Irisbus Rider · June 15, 2009, 11:46:56 PM

Guess where this bus is;

Street and suburb thanks :)

Buzz Killington · June 16, 2009, 05:02:17 PM

Damn that looks familiar.. just can't work out where that is!

Irisbus Rider · June 16, 2009, 10:29:11 PM

If need be, another photo will be posted.

Bus 400 · June 16, 2009, 10:37:41 PM

Before that is it Northside or Southside?

Irisbus Rider · June 16, 2009, 10:39:46 PM

Clues won't be given at this stage, but the desto is a big enough clue IMO.

Bus 400 · June 16, 2009, 10:41:13 PM

I thought that was a trick using the Redex Tuggers

Bus 400 · June 16, 2009, 10:42:13 PM

Gaunson Crescent WANNIASSA (Route 64)

Irisbus Rider · June 16, 2009, 10:43:22 PM

Sorry, not Gaunson Cres.

smitho · June 16, 2009, 10:52:51 PM

somewhere near Caley Cres?

Irisbus Rider · June 16, 2009, 10:59:57 PM

Smitho, your guess is definately much closer than TP 3000s guess, but still no cigar, sorry.

Ed · June 16, 2009, 11:04:10 PM

QuoteDamn that looks familiar.. just can't work out where that is!

Mate, it's at the tip of my tongue. It just doesn't want to come out.

Ed · June 16, 2009, 11:31:16 PM

More or less an educated guess

Throssell St. CURTIN?

Irisbus Rider · June 16, 2009, 11:37:54 PM

I can definately see that being an educated guess, but sorry, incorrect.

Generally speaking, 'smitho' still has the closest guess.

The Love Guru · June 17, 2009, 12:12:05 AM

That's a good looking bus! Nice location too!

Bus 400 · June 17, 2009, 11:05:24 AM

La Perouse Street RED HILL (Route 4)

Irisbus Rider · June 17, 2009, 04:23:40 PM

Not there either, sorry mate.

Again, as a clue, 'smitho' still has the closest guess.

smitho · June 17, 2009, 09:19:01 PM

It looks very much like Captain Cook Cres (at the Narrabundah end) except for the fact that it doesn't look like a divided road....so its probably just a little way up the hill from Captain Cook Cres...

Irisbus Rider · June 18, 2009, 05:32:55 PM

Considering this is turning out to be as tough one, I'll post a different angle;

Hope it helps.

Buzz Killington · June 18, 2009, 05:37:50 PM

Golden Grove?

Irisbus Rider · June 18, 2009, 05:41:03 PM

Not there, sorry.

seat cover · June 18, 2009, 08:24:08 PM

tarlara pkyway narrabundah?

Irisbus Rider · June 18, 2009, 09:59:27 PM

Sorry, not in Narrabundah.

Just to help out, I'll list the incorrect suburbs already guessed;
Waniassa
Griffith
Curtin
Red Hill
Narrabundah
Forrest

Strike those off your list, and see what you come up with, and remember the clue;

"Redex Tuggeranong".

Ed · June 18, 2009, 11:26:13 PM

The second angle makes it even harder. The seemingly contradictory clues (smitho's Caley cres guess being the closest and REDEX Tuggeranong) doesn't help either.

Sir Pompously · June 18, 2009, 11:27:43 PM

Well the stop pegs are School Services Only Pegs, so maybe that may cut it down for some.

I think the REDEX 1 clue is "what is the planned route for REDEX 1 & that wilL give you the suburb & then think of main streets near Caley Cres Narrabundah. But it is in none of the suburbs listed above.

Irisbus Rider · June 19, 2009, 04:43:16 PM

It's nowhere near Caley Cres, that was just the closest guess, if that helps.

And yes, "RedEx Tuggeranong", think outside the square.
i.e. Which way would a bus go if it were operating a RedEx service to Tuggeranong.....

Barry Drive · June 20, 2009, 12:44:04 AM

Since the photo does not appear to be taken in Gungahlin, that leaves the Kippax area as the most likely. The only place I can think of near there which might have School Bus stops is Osburn Dr, Macgregor. Am I close?

The Love Guru · June 20, 2009, 09:17:13 AM

Nope not even close!

Time for my clue (as i was driving 959 this day)

This scene can be viewed for a bollard stop.

Buzz Killington · June 20, 2009, 09:59:15 AM

O'Loghlen St?

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 11:40:18 AM

No, sorry, not there. I think it's time for yet another angle, which should then give it right away;

Buzz Killington · June 20, 2009, 11:49:48 AM

It looks so familiar.. i just can't work it out!

Sir Pompously · June 20, 2009, 12:43:30 PM

Batchelor Street, Torrens?

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 01:49:00 PM

Afraid not in Torrens either.

Additional clue, it's North of the lake.

Sir Pompously · June 20, 2009, 02:16:29 PM

North of the lake, blue and white pegs, older style street lighting (Which would suggest an older City or Belconnen suburb) and a clue is RedEx, suggesting close to a proposed Redex service. Well, as the tree said to the lumberjack, I'm stumped!

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 02:26:00 PM

I would suspect that it is near the Dickson to City section of RedEx1, so my guess is Miller St Lyneham

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 02:47:48 PM

Definately in the right direction TP 3000, but still not there.

Remember Chris_Gurus clue too, this stop can be seen from another bus stop with a Bollard.

Sir Pompously · June 20, 2009, 03:07:46 PM

DeBurgh St, Lyneham

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 04:15:12 PM

Not DeBurgh St, sorry.

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 09:18:01 PM

Considering this is proving more difficult than I originally thought (even with all of the clues!), here's yet another clue;
The mountain in the background is the tallest mountain in the Canberra Metro area.

Find out which mountain that is, and you've more or less got a specific area in Canberra of exactly where it is.

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 09:21:50 PM

The mountain in question (I know which one) & Mount Taylor are the same height. Unless you are talking about Blackie.

I guess Phillip Ave Hackett

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 09:45:58 PM

Mt Taylor is 856m in height, the one I'm talking about is 888m in height.

Unfortunately, not Phillip Av Hackett.

It may help by me saying this street (to my knowledge [post 2001]) has not possesed a route service.

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 09:58:16 PM

Yeah my old old map showed they were the same. You would have to give a date on a network map I DON'T have. But the only route change I can think of & would suit RedEx would be Majura Ave DICKSON/AINSILE

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 10:05:03 PM

When RedEx will be operational, it will pass this street, not use it.

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 10:06:45 PM

Morphett Street DICKSON

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 10:09:03 PM

No, but you've definately got the right idea.

Getting much much closer.

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 10:21:44 PM

I'm stumped now. So I'll guess Murdoch St LYNEHAM

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 10:28:37 PM

Not Murdoch St either, sorry.

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 10:39:40 PM

Davenport St DICKSON

Where is everyone else? I can't think of any street in the Dickson area that has lost a bus service since 2001.

Irisbus Rider · June 20, 2009, 10:42:58 PM

Dickson isn't the suburb in question, but no, it's not on Davenport St either.

Bus 400 · June 20, 2009, 10:43:38 PM

Ipima Street BRADDON
