***Where am I now?*** (game) (4)

I'm afraid I shall sit this one out - it's a bit too much like Tom's 'bottom side of a picnic table'!

And Moenkopi isn't, Roy?
There can't be that many channel markers with osprey nests, so i'll start with Port of Brisbane?

There are many other pictures of Moenkopi on the net. I'd be surprised (and take it all back) if there is one of this.

Maybe not the exact one, but I'm sure these are in the general vicinity: one and two

In that case, I take it all back!

I must agree with Roy in this - although he took it all back..... There is no visible indicator in the image where it is taken except the vague and not distinctive hills in the background.

Wikipedia says about the habitiat of the Osprey (as far as Australia is concerned:

So, with exception of eastern Victoria and Tasmania where they won't be nesting, this can be anywhere along the coast of Australia.

I did put a smiley after my retraction Henk!

Fine whatever I retract.... the birds were in a beacon near cairns and green island.

I suggest you give it another try with something more distinctive, Subby....
Don't take me wrong. You posted a nice shot. But it did not have any information about its whereabouts and there are a lot of these markers all along the coast of Australia.....
The simple rules of the game of the game were set out in the first post:

You're not giving us enough credit! It may have taken a while but I think we would've eventually figured it out.

For the record I was not asking for gps location of this. It was already figured out it was in qld. Thousands of tourists go past these birds everyday. I would have given it if someone said near cairns which is qld's 3rd or so largest town.

I will not be posting another picture. have fun.

Subby, don't let the remarks keep you from posting in this thread...some people give up too easy

The hills were the clue...it was either an island or across a bay, with hill right along the coast of the island...
