The furthest east I've set foot on the ground is the Temple of Karnak, in Luxor

As someone living quite far east in Hanoi, it is surprising how few people so far have been to Asia or Oceania. I think my furthest east is the fantastically named Bay of Plenty in New Zealand.

Tricky, but somewhere in the Interlaken area of Switzerland. It was quite possibly in a train tunnel under the Eiger mountain. But may not have been.

Funnily enough my wife was born on the East Coast of Australia, but in India was denied entry to an ashram that had a sign saying "No Westerners at lunchtime". Even pointing out that that was about the furthest East she'd ever been didn't really help... |
Dalaman Airport, Turkey
|
somewhere in New Zealand, probably Rotorua
|
I would have said, nailed on, it would have been somewhere in Japan. But no, eastern Oz is comfortably further east.
So it was with the dole bludgers at Cape Byron, Australia. |

Like Stephen and Cliff, I think it must be Napier, New Zealand, which is 176°49′E.
Someone could do well on East/West by visiting the Aleutians, or Tuvalu or Fiji, which straddle the 180° meridian. |

On a cruise ship going round the east of Hokkaido, Japan. Furthest east on land would be Kushiro, Japan on the same holiday.
