    This might be stretching the "station or signal box" thing a bit, but...

    State Mine  (nr. Wonthaggi)

    State Mine is correct.  I didn't think that anything was being stretched - in 1965 or so I spent an enjoyable hour in the signal box there after riding in the cab of a J class on the roadside goods.  

    You question JoM

    I didn't realise that there was a State Mine signal box.  That's fair enough then.

    My question...

    Love a good cryptic conundrum.
    Off the top of my head, I can only think of:

    Quambatook

      John of Melbourne The Ghost of George Stephenson

    Location: Melbourne suburbs
    No to Quambatook (and could you explain how you thought it fitted?).

    Please bear with me as it is after 1 in the morning!!

    Tried to think of stations and the clue, and could only come up with an entertainer [comedian] named Rod Quontook[/b:b2fe3e4da5] and thought Quambatook fitted in nicely ShockedConfusedShocked

    Dawson?

    No, not Dawson (whoever that represents).

    The entertainer concerned was quite popular about 60 years ago. (And no, I don't remember him; I'm not that old. But I've read about him.)

    If I am permitted another go..
    60 years ago, and east, hmm, the only thing I can come up with is somewhere in Dame Nellie territory:
    Yarra Glen[/b:e259924ea8]

      John of Melbourne The Ghost of George Stephenson

    Location: Melbourne suburbs
    No, not Yarra Glen.

    Sometimes I think that there is a very fine line between too easy and too hard.

    I'll give one more clue and then the point will go to me because nobody got a correct answer (if nobody does after this clue).

    The entertainer's first name was Roy (but Roy is not part of the answer).

    I guess you mean Roy Rene, who used the named Mo McCacky when performing. In which case I might guess Moe[/b:c24ca1f5d2]

    Maybe stretching it a bit but what about Tantanoola as almond is a tan colour and tan is repeated in the name (round and round)......worth a shot
    Posted: 24 Nov 2004 10:35
      duttonbay Minister for Railways

    Tantanoolais not in Victoria, so how could it be correct  Wink

    Not Dalmore, but I am interested in how you came up with that answer.  Perhaps there might be a hint in the method you used...
