This Week from the Traveler

A great week for placing photo's on the planet!  We had 9 solved with Anna taking out Top Traveler of the week with 6 solves to her name - Congratulations again!  This week we had photo's from USA, Australia, Caribbean and Malaysia and 2 new contributing photographers Ken and Rebecca.  I look forward to seeing more of their top travel photos!

My two favourite pics of the week are the T38 on show at Kennedy Space Centre Florida and the sweeping view of Surfers Paradise Beach Queensland.  As I have said before space is a subject close to my heart and it was amazing to learn more about manned space flight while we were in Orlando.  I only wish I could be there for the final space shuttle launch.

Don't forget to check out the unsolved pics - Photo Number 11 is quite tricky - a quick hint - they serve a mean Painkiller in this part of the world.

Hope everyone has a great week and don't forget - anyone can be a contributing photographer - the pic doesn't have to be of an exotic location - I'm sure your home town has lots of interesting places!

"Painkillers" were invented at this unusually named bar
Congratulations Tracy Z!  You are our newest Top Traveler.  This is indeed the famous bar called the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke British Virgin Islands.  So named because there is nowhere to dock your boat, you have to swim to shore.  Behind the bar is a line to dry the wet soggy money!

This Week from the Traveler


A hectic week this week, but I still managed to have 4 Contributing Photographers and 3 photo's placed on the planet.  Photo's from Australia, USA, Turkey and the Caribbean.  Leonie is on a mission to work out Photo Number 11, can you beat her to it??

Another two favourite photo's for this week. Lone Pine Anzac Cove Turkey is a place that all Australians and New Zealanders should visit - to keep in perspective how lucky we are. I hope to go for the 100 year anniversary.  And what a fantastic photo of Tangalooma Wrecks on Moreton Island Queensland - Well done Brian.  Moreton Island is our Destination of the Week.

If you are one of the Anonymous Top Travelers, let us know your name so we can add you to our Top Travelers Page. Have a good week everyone and keep checking back to see the new pictures to see if you know Where On The Planet they are.
