• Start with a City beginning with A
    • This is BY STATE
    • Similar to the Tag contest, there will be one thread per state
    • Post a picture of your bike AND some sign, building etc which clearly shows the city/state you're in
    • The next person posts from a city with the name beginning with B, then C, D, etc
    • You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next city
    • Once Z is reached, the game starts over with A
    • If your state doesn't have a city beginning with the next letter in sequence, it's okay to skip that letter
    • If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move it to the next letter.

    The World Wide game is a bit different as it is by whatever is considered a geographic type of regional category, state/province/village etc. and all those will be in the single World Wide A-Z topic.

A former gold mining settlement in north-east Victoria, is 75 km south-east of Wodonga. It is situated on the Snowy Creek, about 7 km south-east of Mitta Mitta.

In 1858 a goldfield was established along Snowy Creek, from Mitta Mitta (where the creek enters the Mitta Mitta River) to Granite Flat, upstream. Upwards of 1000 people, including a substantial Chinese community, lived there in the late 1860s. Bailliere’s Victorian gazetteer (1865) recorded one hotel. A school was opened in 1873.

Not to be confused with the other Granite Flat in western Victoria.
