Been to Epping Forest in Tasmania, not much there apart from a farmer who makes his hay into an interesting building each year. Nice castle at the mo.

Been there. Monasteries stuck up on the top there - they used to use ropes to haul supplies and people to them. According to the tour guide when asked when they changed the ropes one of the monks replied "when they break!".
"When God decides they need changing" I got!

Is that the birth place of the Undertaker?
Its the lowest place in the western hemisphere - very eerie in the dark with hot winds blowing and no proper civilisation for over 100 miles!!
Or this.......
Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley (within Death Valley National Park), Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America, with an elevation of 282 ft (86 m) below sea level. Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous 48 states, is only 76 miles to the west.
The site itself consists of a small spring-fed pool of "bad water" next to the road; the accumulated salts of the surrounding basin make it undrinkable, thus giving it the name. The pool does have animal and plant life, including pickleweed, aquatic insects, and the Badwater snail.
Adjacent to the pool, where water is not always present at the surface, repeated freeze–thaw and evaporation cycles gradually push the thin salt crust into hexagonal honeycomb shapes.
The pool itself is not actually the lowest point of the basin: the lowest point (which is only slightly lower) is several miles to the west and varies in position. However, the salt flats are hazardous to traverse (in many cases being only a thin white crust over mud), and so the sign is at the pool. It is often mistakenly described as the lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere, but that is actually Laguna del Carbón in Argentina at −105 meters (−344 feet).

Been there and roamed the dunes, then slept the night under the stars before heading up to Zabriskie Point - and then on to a real ghost-town just over the back of Death Valley. Sterrrange!
Okay.... mine is Itaparica island, an hour sail off the coast of Brasil at Salvador, Bahia. The hottest sand I have ever experienced, you just can not walk on it! Swimming around jellyfish to get ashore was a bit hazardous too
Kampala - went to primary school there!
Gordons Bay - been there a few times. Great place.

Done all 3 !Kanchanaburi. A humbling place esp the JEATH museum. I guess only a place like Auschwitz is more humbling.
