Florin Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Nope...like I said, Astana is much closer geographically than Jo'Burg, Windhoek, Perth or indeed Rio Grande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florin Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Unless you're thinking of the Soviet Union, Almaty and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy are in different countries these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I didn't think it was right. I just wanted a chance to throw Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy in to a post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dan Sai Kid Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Birobidzhan (or Khabarovsk) I wondered about that one. I saw pics of that town, but I didn'y think it looked similar enough. Florin, do you have another clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 It fits the clue about Stalin and the Jewish state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Oops, then my hearsay must have been wrong It's not Khabarovsk (or Yalta), Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy is still the closest one so far...it's actually quite close indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florin Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 No, getting far away again...here's another clue (this time historical fact ): this city was an important transit center for prisoners being sent to labor camps and has only one single road connecting it to the nearest major city, which is 1700km away.

The Dan Sai Kid Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 We have a winner Bet you learnt some fun new facts while looking for this one, eh? The bloody answer was staring me in the face for the last day - I had the Ewan Macgregor series - "long way round" behind my computer. There is a route listing of all the place they went to on the back cover... I'll post a new one shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
