I’m glad someone else plumped for “El Dorado” although looking back “Atlantis” seems to be so damned obvious now. Glad to see I’m not the only one to choose “Ayers Rock” but I think I was overly obtuse when I went for the Southern Cross, not only out of the Zodiac, but out of most of the Northern Hemisphere’s view :smack: ---
