Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[icefest]

Looks like Fiji

[eggs]

Yes - we were on a river in Fiji. That should help drill down to its name.

[johnw]

Upper Navua River?

[eggs]

Ah John - yes our brief visit to Fiji entailed only one white water adventure - on the Upper Navua River.

My wife keeps suggesting a return to Fiji, but I'd rather any OS trips wait until Covid is well and truly in the rear view mirror.
Easy one. Let's go with a more pedestrian river in Fiji:

Sigatoka River and destroyed bridge, Coral Coast, Viti Levu Fiji

[johnw]

I didn't think I would need to sig for my supper on this one but here's a clue.
The broken bridge on the left was caused by a 1994 cyclone.

[eggs]

Hands up who apart from John & I have been to this river....SW corner of Fiji main island?
{assuming there are not 2 bridges like this in Fiji?}

[Last]

Not me, but with a combination of the clue and google maps i think it may be the Sigatoka river

Correct, Sigatoka River on the Coral Coast (pronounced Sing-A-Toe-Ka, hence the misspelt clue).

Thanks john. Next. Haven't gone that far. answer doesn't need to be too specific

[johnw]

Somewhere on Vanuatu?

[Last]

yes, but it's a big place

[johnw]

yes, but it's a big place

And I haven't been there. First guess, Turtle Bay?

[Last]

You should go, it's great. No, but quite close. A large town.

[johnw]

Luganville?

[Last]

Correct. Sitting on the verandah, eating local peanuts and enjoying the late afternoon.

[johnw]

Thanks, those tropical spots inspire that sort of thing.

USA:

Diamond Head (Lē‘ahi) from the crater, just outside the entrance tunnel
Diamond Head State Monument, Honolulu Hawaii USA

[sandym]

A random guess to start off, fire lookout in Southern California?

[johnw]

A lot of water between here and Southern California.

[Tyreless]

Diamond Head?

[johnw]

Diamond Head?

Yes Tyreless, from just after walking through the tunnel into the crater.

[Tyreless]

Next, Europe…

[Graham51]

Kerid Crater Lake, Iceland

[Tyreless]

3 minutes! Is that a record? Yes, 100% correct.

[Graham51]

I just checked in at the right time I guess. I even had time to look on Google.
Here’s an easy one because I’ll be away for Easter and I only have limited pictures on my phone.
UK.

[sandym]

The Eden project in Cornwall?

I don't remember the story of it but wasn't it supposed to be a closed system?

[Graham51]

Yes, The Eden Project is correct.

[sandym]

USA. Classic northern states rock climb.

[sandym]

In the state of great potatoes.

[johnw]

In the state of great potatoes.

That would be Idaho. I'm not a climber but managed to google Chimney Rock.
