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.

BEN'S RESPONSE


Ben correctly identified the school in Jarvis' 'GOOGLE EARTH' post and was even so clever to notice 'when' the satellite picture was taken. WELL DONE, BEN!

Ben also sent an email. He said...

I have found my house on Google Earth. We also found my dad's work at the Port of Brisbane and saw some fishing spots that we go to.
(of course Ben didn't include pictures of their fishing sites - you have to keep them a 'secret'!)
HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR HOUSE ON GOOGLE EARTH?
WHAT OTHER PLACES CAN YOU FIND?
EMAIL THEM TO 1mgems@gmail.com AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN GUESS WHERE THEY ARE.
