ANOTHER WINNER AND ANOTHER CHALLENGE!


Hi 1M Gems,

I know what the picture is of... AUSTRALIA ZOO. That was a really good challenge. It took me a loooooooooooooong time to work out. I loved that one. I was only 3 when I went to Australia Zoo so I don't remember it too much but I always watch the Crocodile Hunter on National Geographic. I want to go back to Australia Zoo. I do remember feeding some kangaroos and seeing the crocodiles. I would like to stay a Australia Zoo.


Who can guess the name of the Bridge in the picture. It is in Brisbane and mums and dads may be able to help a little.

Congratulations again, Ben! Great detective work. How did you work out it was Australia Zoo?
Your new challenge is a good one, too! One of my daughters shares her second name with this bridge. So now everyone knows it's a girl's name.

Hi Mrs M,and 1mgems,
The name of the bridge in this google earth is the Victoria Bridge. Dad and I work this out by ticking the roads layer in ge which gives us the names of road and bridges.

I think it is Victoria Bridge because it's the only bridge we could think of that has a girls name in it. We googled it and it looks the same I think??
Love Flynn x
ps- I have to go to bed now it is way past my bedtime!

Now THAT'S clever, Jarvis. I haven't used that tool. You'll have to teach me when we return to school next week.

You guessed correctly, Flynn - it is the Victoria Bridge! Congratulations on solving your first 'Google Earth' challenge! Checking your answer in Google was a good idea. Did you know that about 96 million searches are made on Google each day? That's a lot of people asking a lot of questions and hopefully getting the right answers, just like you! And now that I've shared that bit of trivia with you, I think it's time for me to go to bed too!
Watch out for the next 'Google Earth' challenge.
