> [@Ximenean](#): > > I didn’t realise Googling was so prevalent in this game (I haven’t played much before). I got the feeling from the way the rules are phrased (sort of “Google, if you really must”) that it was perhaps slightly frowned on, but I guess not. > Next time, I’m straight on to Google 😃 Usually this is true, but I admit this is one of the few I’ve ever had to use Google.🙂 ---

If it weren’t for Google the only Townsville I’d have heard of would be on “The Powerpuff Girls”. 😃 ---

> [@Giles](#): > > Yes, but Gold Coast is by far the larger part of that metro area (400,000 to 50,000 population). In addition, Tweed Heads is not incorporated as a city: it’s part of Tweed Shire, and the administrative centre of the shire is Murwillumbah – though there is a branch office at Tweed Heads. > > (I know all this stuff partly because my brother-in-law works for Tweed Shire, and partly because I’ve been through the area many times.) :smack: My sister lives in Tugun and it never occured to me! Although I guess it’s part of the Gold Coast as well. ETA: Happy Birthday to Rebo. Welcome to 39, I’ve been there a few years now and have really enjoyed it!😃 ---
