Yes you are correct vada_9. They are beautiful gardens. 

 

Your turn.

As are most of the gardens in Toowoomba. My father's family are from there and I have an Aunt and Uncle who had a Champion Garden, during the Carnival of Flowers, when they were alive.

[vada_9]

Do you know who the memorial is for and where it is?

My husband’s oldest friend has lived there nearly 30 years so he visits Toowoomba usually each year. The photo of the gardens was taken 13 years ago when we were there for my brother’s wedding. He had lived in Toowoomba for many years before moving to the Gold Coast.

It has been a while since I have visited Toowoomba, visited often as my Grandmother and many Aunts and Uncles lived there. I visited the gardens on a visit many years ago also.

Clue 1, as no takers yet. The memorial is to a "Cruiser" who went east.

My guess is HMAS Sydney

Sorry no, many years before then.

 

Clue 2 : there are skeletons on these coasts.

[vada_9]

Clue 3: Firstly, I am probably wrong calling it a memorial it is more likely a marker. 

 

This person was the first to do this.

[vada_9]

And here is one of those skeletons.

Yes, that's it, located south of Luderitz. Dias was the first European, a Portuguese navigator to sail around the southern tip of Africa, opening up a route to Asia in 1488.

I don't know why he just didn't go through the Suez Canal, so much quicker.🤪

Would have been easier

after the last one, which took some working out here is an easy one.

I told you an easy one was needed, I reckon patch nine can have a go.

My husband actually got this one - he visited the Grand Canyon 40 years ago and says it hasn't changed much 🤣

So I will post one of his photos.

Where was he?

Yes.  What a lovely sunny day it was too, but absolutely freezing first thing.

 

Your turn

[vada_9]

A super easy one, after my last one.

Yes, we were due to go on the Quest in August out of Amsterdam, but she visited Brisbane in Feb/March, so just had to go see her arrive. 

Your turn again
