Elat, Israel

"The southernmost city in Israel. Elat is Israel's port to the Orient. It's next door neighbor is Aqaba, Jordan, and the cities almost join together at the border. Located on the Red Sea, which is also called the Gulf of Elat. The Coral World Underwater Observatory is where you can see beautiful fish and how they live. The Aquarium was one of the first 'People Aquariums' which lets people into a large underwater Plexiglas bubble to view the fish as the fish look at the people. "

[Jason]

Can we have a new rule that you have to give some fact about the city? It would make this more interesting. Remember, Google is our friend.

Oracle, AZ

Oracle is the home of Biosphere 2, featured in the movie Biodome, an enclosed building environment with an ocean, a desert, a farm, etc, which was orinally opened in the early 90s, to scientifically study the effects of a man made environment, the first people in here did not come out for 2 years after that the next scientists did not come out for a year, this place is still scientifically studied, but I don't think people live in it, just studied, with hopes for this kind of thing in space, like on the moon. It's called Biosphere 2, not because there's another one, but Biosphere 1 is our own earth, a living biosphere.

The Entrance, Central Coast, New Sout Wales is a holiday town which is beautifully situated where Tuggerah Lake empties into the Pacific Ocean. People can eat meals outside in the closed off main street overlooking the lake, and the Pelicans are fed every day at 3:30 pm. A lovely, relaxed town for a holiday.

El Mirage, AZ

This place really does exist :D A suburb northwest of Phoenix. This place, as has the whole "Valley of the Sun" (the official name of the Phoenix metropolitan area) really grown in the last several years.

[John H]

Eltham Victoria, Australia.

Nice little 'town' (just far enough out of Melbourne not to be thought of as a suburb), my parents live in Eltham.

Eltham is a quiet place, lots of gum trees and birds, a nice main street with the typical shops found outside the city.......
My norwegian in-laws just returned from visiting my parents in Eltham. They thought that there were many more birds and animals in Oz than in Norway.

They are correct, I thought I'd see a moose up at the family cabin in the mountains every time we visited. so far only three in five years!

See ya mates........ this time last year I was getting VERY excited about seeing Third Day in Melbourne :D ........ now I'm sking and walking in the snow! ;)

Kiama (pronounced KI-a-ma) on the South Coast of New South Wales. George Bass, an early explorer discovered the Kiama Blowhole, a volcanic blowhole, in 1797. It's a well known tourist attraction and when the sea is rough, the water really comes up with a "woomph." The South Coast is my old stomping ground, so I know Kiama well. :)

[BUBBLY BELLE]

[Jason]

Angola, IN--there's a pretty cool church camp there called Lake James Christian Assembly. And yep, you guessed it-it's on Lake James ;)

Whoa. My grandma had a cottage like 50 yards from Lake James Christian Assembly (it's now my uncle's). I visited her on the lake a few times and we sometimes ate dinner at the Assembly. A camp counselor even gave me my first Bible when I was seven. Oh, you brought back memories.

Here's my grandma's cottage (in white). Lake James Christian Assembly would be 50 yards to the left.

[sandie]

Sydney, Australia of course, home to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, also called "the Coathanger." It's the world's largest but not longest steel arch bridge and the top rises 134 metres above the Harbour.

The idea of joining the North and South of Sydney by building a bridge was thought of in 1815. The Bridge was opened in 1932. It cost three pence for a horse and rider to cross the Bridge at the time. It's $A3 now, but only in one direction.

Paul Hogan the actor used to be a painter on the Bridge.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge forms the centepiece for all fireworks celebrations on the Harbour.

[Greg]

Niagara Falls, NY

Home of the largest falls in North America Niagara Falls. Where many crazy people have braved the currents, and gone over in barrells, one guy walked across it on a tightrope. Some people who have gone over in a barrell like a woman have lived to tell about it, others have met their death. Of course many people already know this,. :)

About my picture: "Jean Lussier, originally from Quebec and living in Niagara Falls, New York challenged the Falls on U.S. Independence Day in 1928. This machinist's successful trip was in a rubber ball. Self designed, this 1.8 metre (six foot) ball was lined with rubber tubes filled with oxygen.
On July 4,1928, after taking some hard knocks in the upper rapids, it skipped perfectly over the Falls. One hour later, Lussier stepped ashore below the Falls none the worse for wear.
Displaying his ball at Niagara Falls for many years, he sold small pieces of the inner tubes for fifty cents a piece"

That's cool. I never went to LJCA as a camper, but, I believe, as a kid I was there with my parents when my dad(who's a minister) was part of the faculty for a week's session. I was at the camp again several years ago(@1995)to visit a friend who was working there for the summer.

[John H]

Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The place where Bugs Bunny should have turned right at!

I was in Albuquerque in 1993 and turned left to head north into Colorado (I was comeing from the west).

Of course if I was comeing from the east I would have had to turn right for Colorado or if I'd come from the south I'd have to keep heading north to Colorado, but then if I had come from the north I'd have to turn 180 degrees to get to Colorado (and could have done that by either turning right or left!).

On the other hand.......... no, that's all......... :confused:

South Bend, Indiana
The University of Notre Dame is here(although they are, technically, their own city). Also the College Football Hall of Fame is here. The Studebaker automobiles were made here, also.
Back in the 1600's, the French explorer LaSalle passed through this area on his way to the Mississippi River. He held a council with the local Indian tribe, the Potowatami under an oak tree-which then became known as Council Oak. It was in what became a cemetery. I visited it when i was in school-3rd or 4th grade I think. They finally had to cut it down several years ago because it had been struck by lightning so many times. There wasn't much left of it anyway by then because of those strikes-plus time, of course.

South Bend, Indiana
The University of Notre Dame is here(although they are, technically, their own city). Also the College Football Hall of Fame is here. The Studebaker automobiles were made here, also.
Back in the 1600's, the French explorer LaSalle passed through this area on his way to the Mississippi River. He held a council with the local Indian tribe, the Potowatami under an oak tree-which then became known as Council Oak. It was in what became a cemetery.

Tretten, Norway.

My wife's great aunt lives in Tretten, it's just north of Lillehammar and a long way north of Oslo.

In april 1940 during the german invasion old aunt Ingerbørg's farm hosted the norwegian general staff and the british embassy staff as they escaped from the germans. (Just a bit of odd info).

Echuca is about two hours North of Melbourne on the Murray River. Goods were carried along the river aboard Paddlwheelers/Paddlesteamers, and it is popular with tourists today. I'd like to take a cruise on a Paddlewheeler down the Murray one day. Would anyone care to join me? :)

Yapeet, Victoria, Australia.

Right up in the mallee country in nth. west Victoria........ a dry, small country town.
We used to go up in the mallee country when my parents were involved in the 'Save the Little Desert' campaign, long, long ago. (Then came 'Save the kangaroo' and Save Lake Pedder' and ........... my parents were not your normal oz folk! ;)

[sandie]

Tumut, a lovely small town in southern New South Wales in the Snowy Mountains. I've paddled along the fast flowing Tumut River in a Canadian Canoe. The Goobagandra River (the Goob) also flows into the Tumut.

Can you tell that I'm a parent of a Kayaker? I know more about the rivers than the land. :p

[sandie]

John : I've seen photos of the a beach at Lake Pedder before it was flooded. One of the men in our church walked through the area when he was a bushwalker. I hope you are okay.

Hornmaster: They are the same thing, but I'm not sure what the Americans call paddlewheelers, so I used both names.

Natimuk, Vic. Australia.

A small mallee town in north west Vic. Famous in the rock climbing bunch cos it's near Mt. Arapolies (can't remember how to spell it).
My mum was born in Natimuk and spent many school holiday on the family farm there, she still remembers the names of all the draft horses (for pulling ploughs ect).
I went hunting pigs up there years ago with mum's cousin's kids, no pigs, but lots of rabbits! ;)

Everything's fine here Sandie, pretty quiet on the 'you know what' front.

It was -15 outside last night and lots of snow this morning. We will be off to ski at our church's mountain place next week, I'll add a photo to the next post after we get back.

New River, Arizona

A small town maybe 30 miles from Phoenix. Kids from this town took a long bus trip to attend my high school.

[sandie]

What happened to the old river, Jason? Did someone move it? ;)

Riverstone, which is near Sydney. An old town. I can't recall seeing a river there, but there are stones on the ground. :p The railway crossing runs through town, so you have to stop for trains. (This is always a good policy, in my opinion.) :D

[Jason]

I stole it and put it in my closet. Shhhhh.

Isn't El Paso a brand of Taco Sauce? If not, it should be. :p

Jason: Your room must be very soggy. There's a children's picture book called "There's a Sea in My Bedroom."

Oodnadatta, which is famous.....for its wonderful Aboriginal name. :D

Ashfork, AZ don't go there! Dirty, filthy worse place in Arizona lots of Hicks and scary people who will shoot you too, "get out when you have a chance!" Okay maybe I'm exagerrating a bit, but it's a dirty town with lots of hicks! And the worse place in Arizona that I've been and I've been to a lot of towns in AZ!

[sandie]

Must go there one day, Greg. ;)

Katoomba, New South Wales, home to the Three Sisters rock formations (Jason take note after the photo this week). It's in the Blue Mountains National Park, and a "must visit" place for anyone planning to come to Oz.

How far from you?

[sandie]

Katoomba is forty five minutes drive from me. I'm at the Western extremity of Sydney. Five minutes drive, and I'm into the mountains. It's really beautiful, with lovely views across the sandstone cliffs and down into the valleys. You might like to Google the Legends (two versions) of the Three Sisters at Katoomba- the story about the Aboriginal witchdoctor.

One of my grandmas lived near Katoomba for many years, and we stayed there in our holidays. :)
