Correct, over to you we learnt something that night - Ice Hockey is played in thirds - who would have thought! (And the Canucks won).

Is it your garden? 😁🤣 Wherever it is, it would take full-time gardeners to keep it looking this good.

The original estate had more than 100 groundskeepers. It's not far from my house actually, about 7 km.

Not there, that is about 35 km away from my house and more north than west of Victoria. This estate is a national historic site for more than one reason.

It is so. Built by James Dunsmuir the estate was more than 600 acres and was basically a self sufficient property. During WW 2 it was purchased by the Government of Canada and the idea was to have the Royal Family out of harms way there; of course King George refused to leave England and so did Queen Elizabeth along with Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.

As a result the property became Royal Canadian Navy College Royal Roads (after the Navy Anchorage that fronts the property), and later Royal Military College Royal Roads. It is now a civilian University although DND still controls the vast majority of the land. Part of the Castle is open to tours on a limited basis although most of it is used by the University administration.

[Blackduck59]

A shot in the dark with Celebrity Solstice in the background I will try Darwin.

[MicCanberra]

It is the Solstice but not Darwin.

[Blackduck59]

Like many of my guesses that was a shot in the dark. So let's broaden the target. Are we in Australia?

[onlyslightlymad]

Is it North Head in Auckland?

[MicCanberra]

Not in Australia or Auckland.
