Pugwash - great to see you! Hope you'll be swelling the ranks of the Brits for a long time yet  I've taken the liberty of cutting your answers down to just one - conventionally we only look to take one answer per person in the first 24 hrs. Take a look at "Puzzle Forum Guidelines" link on the Garden of Puzzling Delights home page. Again - a big welcome!  Rog Marian, FF, michele, Mad, Pugwash - all good! (think covey also covers partridge and grouse  ) Nice try, oldbroad - it's not what I've got, but anatomically you're in the right area  Bernie - a rare thumbsdown

10. Orbit City. It was also the site of the first Australian convict settlement when time dilation is taken into account
