Un seconded. 128 degrees east is at Mundrabilla, which is only 40 miles from the Western Australia border. That eliminates basically nothing but a sliver of outback. There is zero street view in that sliver.

If you're seconding something, second my original question.


Sorry, typo, it was meamt to be 120 degrees east

It can be good, however, it implies that your opinion is more valid that the person who seconded. Not sure why one person should have that power, maybe, a third is needed for agreement. That would be more positive, I'll try that next time. This one is an easy one and should be found before Q15.

It only means that further discussion should be had before wasting a question. Plus, in this case, if I hadn't un-seconded the question, it would have been a complete waste. Since he at least corrected himself, it was only a 90% waste.

However, it's your game, run it how you wish.

And it will take every bit of 15 questions if we keep asking ones we know the answer to.

Do you mean below the Fitzgerald Inlet? If so, I'll second it and we'll call it (-34.105366,119.630613).

Ok, so a little visual help. The community has narrowed the search down to these parts of Australia....

jp I erred i my seconding (Ithought we were much further East) and am happy to be unseconded if I make a screw up.

Unseconding is fine IMO.

Happy New Year!!

Happens, if you look at the picture, the last question also could have been better since there is visible water. The most important information is from one of the users..... (Big Hint ;) )

Woot!

Gilligan is on Brunswick road, Port Albany, WA, Australia.

I've been driving around Albany for 4 hours now. Something about the angle of the sun, and the way the trees looked, that helped.

I downloaded a Caltex location listing and looked at every gas station in Western Australia. Only after 2 days and 400+ gas stations did I realize it wasn't a gas station but a refinery.

Good job with this one, JP. That was hard.
