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)

@CakeRattleandRoll

My aunt moved to Perth in 1966, she has still not been to Rottnest. My grandmother went out to stay with her in the early 1970s and went, I think her description or Quokkas put my aunt off, but I fine them adorable.

My dad (paediatric radiologist) once talked to the parent of a patient who came from Tiree. Said parent was amazed that Dad not only knew Tiree but said that he'd gone there regularly on holiday with his family.

Parent then mentioned that there had been this strange doctor who used to come to Tiree with bikes and Siamese cats..... BlushGrin
