Route 1 Reservoir, Spini
The Molesford Municipal Water company really needs to spend some cash cleaning up this slightly toxic yet still impressive edifice - lots of litter and a few really worrying looking fish - if your keen on angling you'd be advised to just throw them back !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Spini/202/142/31

Route 2 Bridge and pools, Tawny
The watercourse has been dammed here in the past, so for the moment the river stream trickles through choked pools and rusty culverts as it passes beneath the arching span of the old bridge
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tawny/233/188/34
Route 2 Old Viaduct, Eggar
Development has raised the level of the land here, and the small valley spanned by the viaduct shows few clues as to it's original purpose, however the arches still provide shelter from the elements for flora and fauna, and it might appear, tramps too !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eggar/83/107/31
Route 2 Great Seawall, Buff
Just around the corner from a picnic parking lay-by with panoramic views across Buff Bay, stretches the long stone line of Buff sim's coastal defences. You can stroll onto the short pier and along the boardwalk promenade which offers a bracing ocean breeze on wilder days.

Route 2 Arboreal Roundabout, Buff
Three roads converge here at an old tree of such character and antiquity that a roundabout was constructed around it to preserve it's majesty for all to admire, quite what species it represents has been open to much controversy !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Buff/79/227/29
Route 2 Iron Bridge, Quaker
Although lost in modern development, this relic from the industrial revolution, now spanning little more than a dried up canal basin, has been fully restored and shined up to something of it's former glory, even passing a health and safety audit recently with flying colours !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Quaker/127/20/33
Route 2 Zebra Crossing, Ginsberg
Abbey Road anyone ? ... well, not many zebra crossings in SL but this one links the adjacent gallery and shopping areas either side of the road in Ginsberg, so that prospective visitors are safe from being mown down by cars, juggernauts, mole-tanks, whatever other powered object may be passing through on the busy highway !

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Girdler/139/89/31
Route 2 Tiger - Togata Tunnel, Tiger/Moma/Togata
Difficult terrain here necessitated a deep bore through the hillside to link the regions, and a substantial stone lined tunnel exists here to allow free passage. Excavations also opened up a surprise in the hillside !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tiger/39/18/29
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Togata/229/239/29
Route 2 Ocean Panorama, Togata
Another sharp turn in the road to follow the coast opens up a wide vista across open ocean. Travellers may stop and tarry a while here at the viewpoint.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Togata/74/182/29
Route 2 Oriental Bridge, Togata
A wide ocean estuary ravine here requires a bridge to span the gap and an elegant span of vaguely oriental outline performs this task.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Togata/118/97/34
Route 2 Stone Viaduct, Emmelia
A stone viaduct carries the road securely across the ravine into the ocean at Emmelia. A small decrepit dock lies in the waters below for those wishing to go boating.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Emmelia/26/3/31
Route 3 (North Heterocera Inland Link) : Unmissable items for your travelogue !
This road lies mainly incomplete at the time of writing, however some sections have so far been completed to provide additional transport links. An example of this is a section joining the major junction at Woolybear in the north to Emmelia on Route 2. This section required some considerable gradient engineering to overcome the differences in altitude between these regions.
Route 3/Route 2 Southern Junction, Emmelia
The two routes merge here in a T junction adjacent to the viaduct spanning the ravine.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Emmelia/35/123/32
Route 3 Lower Bank, Lunaris
The road ascends a steep bank here rises with the terrain, excellent spot for sledging if it would only snow !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lunaris/86/12/41
Route 3 Upper Bank, Lunaris
A second rise requires a large stone embankment in order to prevent subsidence of the hillside below the woodland above.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lunaris/181/196/61
Route 3 Hilltop Woodlands, Moma & Tridens
The high hill crest at Moma, as well as offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and not-so-distant coast, retains some natural woodland across its border with Tridens. The park also contains small lakes and a pagoda summerhouse in which weary travellers may take a breather. There is a rezzing area here too.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Moma/238/59/75
Route 3 Oriental Bridge, Tridens
The red oriental bridge at Tridens gracefully mimics its surrounding oriental architecture as does its twin down the ravine in Togata. From the bridge, the road heads due north across undulating terrain towards Woolybear Junction.

Highlights around the Great City of Nautilus
The Pharos, Nautilus-Byth
As intrepid seafarers approach the great water channel leading to the ancient city, strange flickering beams in the sky, followed by a sighting of a lofty tower alert them to the presence of the treacherous Nautilean coast. This large beam-house is The Pharos, and was constructed as a navigational aid replacing a much smaller crystal beacon, the ruins of which may still be seen on a nearby outcrop. Statues of sea creatures festoon the terraces of the Pharos, whilst a large idol of Hydraea, Goddess of the Sea, faces out to the Western Sea, both embracing friend and threatening foe with upraised hands. At the top of the tower rests the main lamp house where crystal energy passes through deflection grids to be streamed out to the cardinal points of the compass, clearly visible for many miles. Halfway up the tower, within a small open chamber at the top of the great stairway, is a focussing relay crystal which controls the nature of the Pharos' beam to suit the prevailing weather conditions.
Inside the great hall at the foot of the structure lies the main crystal reactor, within a deep containment pit surrounded by an energy screen. On one side of the barriers stands the console containing the control array and spectral coolant rods. As a protection against power overload, the reactor is gated to the sea via an internal pool and underwater tunnel, so that in the event of such an emergency, it may be flooded with seawater and extinguished. This pool should be empty and serene, however the Pharos has gained an 'unofficial' resident during some phase of it's existence. A rogue scientist fell from favour with the council of Nautilean elders due to his somewhat aggressive and more than a little xenophobic attitudes toward foreign trade, building crystal powered mechanical sea boats to disrupt passing trade and seize wealth for himself. Exiled from the main citadel he barricaded himself inside the Pharos, settling inside the main chamber where he constructed a new vessel within the confines of the coolant pool, periodically venturing forth from his lair via the sea tunnel to harry vulnerable shipping and steal supplies. This undoubtedly resourceful individual was apparently not immune to the mysterious cataclysm which afflicted Nautilus in the distant past, indeed some enigmatic writings discovered within the chamber suggest he may actually have been instrumental in hastening its effects, and all that may now be seen to mark his occupancy are his last and greatest undersea vessel, a variety of somewhat incongruously added docking structures, and a scatter of books dealing with a variety of arcane and eclectic topics. Judging by the compact size of his vessel, the physical stature of the Professor did not in any way match that of his mind !
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nautilus - Byth/3/191/23
Baal Public Park, Nautilus-Baal
Nautilus sports a pair of public parks adjacent to the canal bank. Furthest east lies Baal Park, which contains a small seating area where one may sit and watch crystal particle beam displays, and also a small secluded pool for relaxation and contemplation known as 'The Eye of Baal', the reason for which may be clearly seem when viewing the feature from the air.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nautilus - Baal/69/176/22
Kothar Public Park, Nautilus-Kothar
The second park is located immediately adjacent within the Kothar district and contains a large outdoor public pool and thermal spa area alongside stone walkways. This location, in addition to the wild vegetation and arboreta common to both parks, also features a large outdoor mechanical chess set, the workings of which have yet to be precisely discovered, and a natural pool within which sits a small island upon which is sited a monument of unknown assignation.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nautilus - Kothar/3/186/22
City Sea Gate, Nautilus-Melqart
Two enormous bronze gates close the sea channel against hazards where it enters the great citadel wall. These may be swung open and shut, forming a bright star in the centre which acts as a night beacon when they are closed against entry.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nautilus - Melqart/83/228/25
The Canal, Nautilus
The deep channel of The Great Canal extends from the Citadel due east, and straight as a die, to the ocean, which it meets at the turbulent waters surrounding the Pharos. The channel has become home to various flora and fauna over the years.
