Have you been to a place no one else has been to?

[MrsTerryPratchett]

I'll start. The idea is you name the place and a fellow MNer has to say if they've been there. However, you don't have to wait until you've been somewhere to post. Post your places and you'll meet the MNers who've been there. You can post 1-3 places (random numbers).

I've been to:

Rwanda
The Whisundays
Cathedral Grove (Vancouver Island)

Yeah St. Petersburg is definitely not unusual but I still hold onto Luusua - no one will have gone there unless they got lost trying to find somewhere else

Sorry @MrsTerryPratchett, another one for the Whitsundays, probably standing room only now.
@Garman on Achill Island at the moment.
My contributions are:

Inishkea Islands
Yeronga, Brisbane
Ballina, both the one in Mayo and in Queensland, one of them had a zebra.

I have been to the Gilis and to Sulawesi too :-)

Love Ballina (and Westport) in Mayo - been there quite a few times

Also been to PNG! Loved it!

Haha, I live near Wrexham and when I was a kid I lived near cleethorpes.

No one else claiming Ashgabat? I don't blame you ...

Halesowen.....not very exotic but I'm from there and live in London now, no one's ever heard of it.

I’ve been to Yeronga! And Ballina but in Australia it’s in New South Wales.

I've been to Rabbit Hash, Kentucky.
Kalkaringi, Northern Territory.

Also some random places in the Amazon but I need to look at a map for those.

@BridieConvert Taupo seems quite popular. I’ve been there.

@Mumtobabyhavoc sorry, I’ve visited Chicago and Montana.

@MumofSpud I've done the DMZ Tour, but didn’t dare even let a toe cross the border.

@izzy2076 I've been to Bethlehem, which is close to Ramallah but not quite there.....

@Santasoorplooms it's a totally surreal place, in fact the whole of Iceland feels a little 'otherwordly'

@Natsku I lived near Eel Pie Island, very famous in the 60s/70s, you can see it from the river bank so I presume that counts under the roolz.
