NSW Where is it #2 (formerly where is it #65)

Barry Drive · December 08, 2009, 01:12:45 PM

Since there is no active Where is it, here's a new one: where is 969:

By the way, the desto is not a clue. Or is it?

Kind of looks like the Coppins Crossing or Cotter Road area, just can't put my finger on it!

Ill say Canberra avenue, just opposite DFO...

Just realised it clearly isn't there

Busnerd · December 08, 2009, 02:44:33 PM

Um, Lady Denman Dr?

Irisbus Rider · December 08, 2009, 06:22:36 PM

It's not on Uriarra Rd just up from Cotter Rd?

It's a good 'Where is it'! Thanks for posting it Martin.

Flemington Road, just near Manning Clark Cres at Franklin?

Barry Drive · December 09, 2009, 11:27:24 AM

So far all incorrect.

A clue: think OUTSIDE the square.

Sulwood Dr, Kambah?

Buzz Killington · December 10, 2009, 04:27:25 PM

Mulligan's Flat Road at Bonner?

A Special - somewhere out nearly the newly rebuilt Uriarra Forestry Settlement?

Horse Park Drive

Barry Drive · December 11, 2009, 08:56:29 AM

Some good guesses, but none correct so far.

Time for another clue: it is located not far from one of Canberra's newest and most exclusive residential accommodation precinct.

Nudurr Dr at Crace/Palmerston?

Barry Drive · December 12, 2009, 09:48:15 AM

Next clue: see updated thread title. Street name and approximate location required.

Snorzac · December 12, 2009, 11:20:40 AM

Monarao Highway

bubzie · December 12, 2009, 12:10:56 PM

Royalla Drive?

Could it be that new Maggregor development written up in today's 'Canberra Times'?

Buzz Killington · December 12, 2009, 06:49:10 PM

New residential accommodation.. Could mean the Kingston Foreshore.. Gungahlin.. The Gaol...

The NSW part rules out the former.. I don't think it's Gungahlin and given the Desto is 888, and the Gaol Routes are 88 and 988, and given Martin's laconic sense of humour, I suspect he is referring to the AMC, which leads me to guess:

Lanyon Drive, just between the Tompsitt Dr roundabout and the ACT Border?

Also, Lanyon Dr has a bit of an identity crisis. Some signs on the ACT portion of the road refer to it as Tharwa Road, others Lanyon Dr, but it is definitely Lanyon Dr on the NSW side of the border, where I believe the bus is.

And if I'm wrong, well.. given the facts at hand you have to admit I make a convincing argument.

Correct.

The 888 wasn't (supposed to be) referring to the AMC, '800' route numbers are used in Queanbeyan so it partially referring to that.

And just to prove it, here's the reverse angle:

Buzz Killington · December 13, 2009, 11:30:12 AM

Well, there you go!

A great 'Where Is It' Martin, if not for the clues this one surely would have gone on for quite some time.. Definitely one we will add to the site I think.

Whoever wants to start a new game, go for it.

Snorzac · December 13, 2009, 11:34:30 AM

Give me until tomorrow afternoon and I will have one

Snorzac · December 16, 2009, 08:44:08 PM

I have one, I have two threads of photos to post first though. It will be up late tonight
