    Haha, I didn't need google. I used to surf along that coastline

    I worked on a gas refinery there 😁

    How about Port Hercule as an alternative answer?

    Been testing a few photos in the test post thread, Google is too damn good. It gets every single one, unless it's that obscure that no one could ever guess it, unless they lived in the area

    Google Lens can actually be beaten.
    On DPReview, in the GTP #236 and #237 threads, only one out of 35 posted images was found by GL.
    In GTP #238 and #239 seven out of 26 posted images were found – only because very easy ones were being posted due to the impending DPR close-down.
    So, the challenge of finding (or creating) an image to beat GL can obviously be achieved - it does make it more difficult, but it's very satisfying when one successfully avoids the annoying GL. Cropping or using B&W can sometimes be effective.

    Yes exactly. The old printing press I posted was number one on the google list because of a couple of identifying parts in the original pic - the stand and plaque with info about the printer, period and use, and a picture on the wall to the side. I cropped those and tested again and it WAS on the list but further down.
    But I get that it can be hard, with so many places readily identifiable.

    FREE TURN.
    As more than 24 hours have passed since the last challenge was completed a free turn is now on offer.
    A reminder:
    It’s advisable that photos be checked with both ’Google Lens’ and Google reverse image search before posting a new challenge – to avoid them being found immediately.
    (As for five of the last six posted)

    Some say it is in NSW, and some say it is in South Australia. Some it was built by the Welsh, and some say by the Cornish...

    The dry stone wall would suggest the UK rather than the southern hemisphere. And no I haven't checked with Google.

    It might suggest the UK but that would be wrong :-)

    Surely must be Oz or South Africa - Cornish or Welsh miners ?

    Certainly one of those. Copper was of great importance here.
