When you said "your reason for going there" I took it to mean you were actually there. I have been past Willis Island on more than a dozen cruises. The reasons ships include Willis Island in their itineraries is because it is in international waters so the cruise can be an 'international one'. They can duty free goods and the cruise line does not have to collect GST.  Sufficient information?

BTW, typing my answer took longer than 'Getting Older Slowly'.

Yes you can have next go as you were first with the place

That is correct.  It means they can sell duty free and operate the casino

Selling duty free goods is correct, but in some states (including Queensland) the ship does not have to be in international waters for the casino to operate.

The Lupanar is a poigniant place. Normally the glories of empire are what is left and the wretched lives of those at the bottom of the social ladder literally disappear into dust. I remember one historian who described Pompeii as the one place where the voiceless and unnamed get to be immortalised.

 

Getting back to the game. Name the temple this path leads to:

Uluwatu cliff temple

Your not bad at guessing Mic, I can now go back to my bottle of red and leave you to post the next pic🍷🍷

Jeez Mic. I'm looking forward to your cryptic clues for this. Seeing that the sign is in English, would you be in Australia?

[MicCanberra]

No, but it is in a country where English is an official language.
