(Look at my list in post #1 and you'll note a coupla things OUTSIDE the center of the universe)

Unfortunately we can't take credit for the reef ... it's not man made ... although some recon we are destroying it ...

And i did notice you mentioned some outside the centre of the universe,, actually non of them are Australian ...

Nope. Dikes are just 'walls' keeping water away from land, ordinary dikes can be found everywhere. The Delta Works include such weird stuff as "Neeltje Jans" basically a huge dam/doorway that can be closed to shield the mouth of Schelde river against storms.

Sounds as though I should go take a look-see.

Some time in my life, I want to travel to Indonesia to see the Borobudour (sp). Anyone else ever been there?

I've seen the Golden Gate Bridge before, but the Lavender Pit Copper Mine in Bisbee, Az. is a more awesome sight to me. The photo in the link below doesn't do it justice. This would be my nomination.
