New South Wales?

I suspect you meant "Gran Canaria" rather than "Gran Carnaria". The group of islands is the "Canary Islands", which are not named after birds but have the same root as "Canine" and hence are really the Islands of Dogs! That is, the island group is named after the dog.
Spot on with that answer, the QI Klaxons were waiting, but no Alan Davies....
Yes, there was a slight typo on the Gran Canaria, a problem with big fingers on iDevices.
So a ding to Pajoholic - over to you
-
Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Carnaria and Fuertaventura are all part of a group of islands.
What animal is that group named after?
-
Is he one of the meerkats on the compare the market adverts?
-
Spot on, there is a DING to Mr (or Mrs) Beach Hut
Well done
-
Boggin's Dad, seeing as my question has been adjudged to be too niche, I'll give you the 'ding!' for economics.
The prize is awarded for "that American economist under the age of forty who is adjudged to have made a significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge".
Over to you...
Thanks for the Ding
I have a question along similar lines, hopefully one or two people might know this one....
What is the name of the prize given to mathematicians under the age of Forty by the International Mathematical Union? It is awarded to up to four winners, every four years. The most recent meeting being held in Soeul in 2014.
Good Luck

The only other GCSE I can think of that fits the social science theme is Economics.
Other than that I am drawing a blank
-
I cannot spell philosiphy, so I cannot use that one,
I am going to have a punt at Geography
-
A big DING for Hellfire.
It was the great Swarb, who we shall 'meet on the ledge'
And of course I was at Fairport's Cropredy Convention.
Over to you
-
Well, I did not expect that stab in the dark to successful!
You have the choice of two questions, I will accept a correct answer for either:
Sticking with the music theme:
Where was I this weekend? And hence the late posting of this question.
Or
Which former member of the excellent Fairport Convention died earlier this year in June?
-
Working backwards from Pajoholic's post - I will have a go at Coldplay,
Red Hot Chilli Peppers have been around for ever, so not necessary that contempoary, and Maroon 5 - well there's a guess for someone else.
-
The most southern location on mainland Australia?
-
FWIW, sources checked after the fact note that the Arctic Desert is the second largest with the Sahara being third. Antarctic = 5.5 million sq miles; Arctic 5.4 million sq miles; Sahara 3.5 million sq miles. (Source, Geology.com)
Hmm
On further investigation using the old faithful, wikipaedia, one list acknowledges the Artic, and the other does not, however the Antartic is still (marginally) larger, and the ding is pointing at Hal-an-tow.
-
I'll try the Antarctic !
And the correct answer goes to hal-an-tow
The Antartic with an area of 14 million sq km, The Sahara is second with 9 million sq km, Gobi has only 1 million sq km
So over to you with a DING to the frozen, but rather dry Hal-an-tow
-
North Wales is famous for being the wettest place in the universe, my question is:
Where is the largest desert in the world?
-
I can see from our overflowing post bag, that we have a letter from Mrs Trellis of North Wales.
-
That's a ding to Martin&lindabryn
No middle name, but uses the initial K, reportedly for Kathleen, from her paternal grandmother
-
Sticking with the Harry Potter theme
What is J.K. Rowling's middle name?
-
Hermione Grainger, in the Harry Potter books

Would it be possible to bring people to the location to gather information to use in completing a multicache or puzzle?

B.
I would second that, why not use a multi-cache, to collect information from the building, eg number of windows, details from a display board etc. these can then lead to a hide a suitable distance away, but still brings the cacher to the area
-
Are they pictures of the 'big five' species that are the ones to see when on safari, maybe lion, elephant, rhinoceros, leopard and something else?
-
There are lots of wild animals in South Africa in the game parks, so I am having a stab in the dark with Elephants
-
This sounds very masonic to me, so I guess it would be one of those orders - perhaps Knights Templar
