Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Newsman]

Sakalava Bay. Madagascar?

 

[bracconiere]

Well...it's raining in singapore for a week, but not venzeula, columbia, or argintina....but it's 80+f....

edit: damn, singapore drives on the left....

the weather report matches uruguay....

 

[D.B.Moody]

new zealand drives on the left, so does australia.

You know this. Stick with it. You can get this. You're the guy who malts his own grain.

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Madagascar. Not Uruguay.

 

[bracconiere]

Not Madagascar. Not Uruguay.

argentina it is then! (according to the weather if Moody Double Blow can be believed...and it's only raining in a small spot?)

edit: nothing similar or close to a model rocket is it?

edit: but i scroll google maps, looking for a river that goes to the ocean....comin up empty, except montavideo.....but it doesn't have the hill....

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Argentina

 

[bracconiere]

Hint: this country’s East Coast is considered a surfers paradise.

that's heated up leftovers!




damn, this came on and now i need to look at Fiji!



i don't see any pine trees in fiji? would be a surfing place.....but googling hotels places usually just show's me the inside of the rooms. which i'm sure if i brought a UV flashlight too, would creep me out.....

Gold Coast, Australia

 

[bracconiere]

Malta? don't know but D.B.'s comment, would suggest he AI'd it and was making a crack....

 

[pvpeacock]

Gold Coast is correct, but where on the Gold Coast?

 

[bracconiere]

Malta is the only british colony driving on the right....or sorta....

 

[D.B.Moody]

They do not drive on the right

and

new zealand drives on the left, so does australia.

That's what I meant by stick with what you know.

As to malting your own grain, I mean you are THE GUY who does this, THE GUY who figured out how to do this on the cheap. I figured that if you could do that, you could get this. I was trying to encourage you.

but malta is in the gold whatever, and they drive on the right...doesn't look developed enough though...


and i assure you although fun, playing this doesn't FEEL cheap to me! this must be the way pro-sports stars feel, but they live in million dollar mansions...


i'm just the kid in the special olympics thrilled to get my ass kicked by michael jordan..

[pvpeacock]

Malta doesn’t have surf.

Gold Coast, Australia

I was thinking Australia / New Zealand as well (mentioned it earlier) but never got confirmation. Then again I guess it never got shot down either.

***edit***

Eh yeah it's confirmed now, I wasn't on the latest page.

wait now i'm confused, i googled gold coast, and got north/west africa?

 

[pvpeacock]

Gold Coast, Australia. It’s where there a city called “Surfers Paradise.” Get it? But this is not that city.

 

[bracconiere]

Get it?

duh? obviously not?

so some city in queensland.....but not directly surfer's paradise......i think i should stick with simple word, games and leave the picture games to the pros!

 

[Pkrd]

Coolangatta?

 

[CKuhns]

Lets go with Palm Beach, Queensland

Gold Coast is a city. (Also an area encompassing many cities.)

From Wikipedia
"Gold Coast is the sixth-largest city in Australia, Australia's largest non-capital city, and Queensland's second-largest city. The Gold Coast is a major tourist destination with a sunny, subtropical climate and has become widely known for its world-class surfing beaches, high-rise dominated skyline, theme parks, nightlife, and rainforest hinterland. The city is part of the nation's entertainment industry with television productions and a major film industry"

Surfer's Paradise?

 

[bracconiere]

i'm a little bit mifted at this....still....

They do not drive on the right

could have just said...instead of having me scouring S. America...

Surfer's Paradise?

i want to say new geuina now just as an attempt as a stupid 3 point shot!

 

[pvpeacock]

No

 

[tracer bullet]

So if I look up Gold Coast Australia, orient the map to look south, and then cruise along until I find what looks to be the same buildings, land features, and etc. - is that an acceptable way to find out where the picture was taken? I'm not really sure of the rules here (I'm guessing there are no hard rules but am also guessing there are some things folks would prefer one not do to find the answer).

 

[DBhomebrew]

Rules are listed in the OP*, but I'd say you're good as described. Putting the pic right into a Google search, not so much. The key is that you're doing the sleuthing.

*4. This is an honor system here so let's keep it fair and fun for everyone. No cheating by using SEARCH GOOGLE FOR IMAGE or looking at the IMAGE URL, or any other method

Actually, the picture is an arial shot, but you can get pretty close, depending on how tall you are. I found the picture after I found the place. Once there you can discover the price of a stay for @bracconiere:

I couldn't get a price on the round tower on the right side of the picture, but the tall building to the left of that can be done for $220 right now.

those buildings on the right are on Goodwin Terrace. I will not name the city, but walking down the beach would get there.
Totally legit.

Right, I saw the land features, beach, etc. from the aerial map and found the place already. Strolled the beach view as well for kicks. Just wondering if that was an acceptable method before I named it.

 

[pvpeacock]

Everyone is close, but no correct answers yet. Hint: there is a koala sanctuary on the hill.
