Sorry, Jet, not Byron Bay beach. Actually I'm not sorry, I'm glad no one has found me yet! :)

bondi beach?

nope. the word "beach" is not in the name of where I am. I am almost 100 miles south of Bondi Beach.

are you a mountain?

no, I'm in a town that was recently in the news.

Did the Washington Post feature an article about it?

(and in case it did, but you didn't know it because you found the news elsewhere, here's a google search, "australia site:washingtonpost.com" ... also, type in what the story was about and details to see if the Post ran it within the last week.)

canberra?

nope, not Canberra.

Jet, I checked and the Washington Post did feature an article about this town and why it was in the news. I can't imagine it was not in every news source for the same reason. The BBC, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, NY Times, Pravda, Al Jazeera, Twitter...the news was everywhere.

Is that right? I would have thought if I eliminated the Post, I'd go onto the Mail, Times, then Sun, but if they all ran it, perhaps a general search is in order.

In the news, did the story say that at least one person died?

...Goulburn?

No, the story did not say anything about anyone dying.

Shell, not Goulburn...are you sure it doesn't have an "e" at the end? ;) Goulburne?...but not there, either. You're pretty close, less than 50 miles...go east, young woman, go east

...Bowral?

not Bowral. But you're within 20 miles.

I can't believe none of you heard the story about why this town was in the news. As soon as I heard it I said "I'm gonna use that in the Where In the World Am I?" game next chance I get.

...haven't found a thing in the news but i'm now an expert on India's Mercury Industry, Massachusset's defunct military installations, and NSW Cricket and roos...and it's all gotten me nowhere...except a bad case of Google-eyes...lol

...camden?

(...i don't have very detailed map resources either so these little towns on the other side of the world are a killer)


:rose:

sorry Shell, not Camden. Shhhh...clue for you but don't tell anybody else: use some of the terms we already know above combined with "water" and you might find it.

seven mile beach?

isn't that in Detroit?

Sorry:
search some of the names of places that have been confirmed and then include the search term "water" since the recent news about this town was related to water.

...Bundanoon?


:rose:

shellharbour?

DING DING DING!!!! Shell has found me in Bundanoon. You're up, Shell.

This town made the news on July 9th as the first town in the world to ban bottled water, apparently for environmental reasons http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/16/wo...iht-water.html
Actually their concept makes sense to me, similar to negative effects of too many disposable items in our trash, litter, and the economic burden thereof.

... :hyper:

God, I hope she is eighteen. I have the sudden urge to cross the sea for her.

...see?...you missed your calling, jet...ya shoulda been one of those cheerleader guys

...okay...i'm in the northwestern hemisphere. I'm not looking for a town or building but rather a general area within a country that has been labeled a name according to the results of a rather recent and widely known study that was done. I want the country name and the area name

...and if you guess right away according to that clue i'll scream...because it took me forever to get here :orly: :)


:rose:

a country's area that resides or touches the Atlantic Ocean? (US would technically apply if you are indeed there, but I'd be beyond confused if you say 'yes', and you are actually in Chicago or New Mexico. My clues are abounding :? )

are you in the Nunavut part of Canada?

...not in canada

...not on the atlantic

Eastern Hemisphere

Jet,
Sorry, Shell already said she's in the northwestern hemisphere.

Shell,

...no

The Sunbelt of US?

dixie?

...no, jet

...no, unc

west of the mississippi?

somewhere in the U.S.?

...can't remember when i've been in a room of hot men
and all i can say is no...no...no...this has got to change :)

...no unc....no, nick


:rose:

...seeker, yes...the country i'm in is on the pacific :)


:rose:

canada?

Okay, the way I see it come together... you are not in northwestern US, nor in Canada, not anywhere in the Sunbelt vicinity, and you border the pacific.


Are you in a country where the main language is Spanish?
