Railway Heritage

State Mine Heritage Park & Railway, Lithgow

The railway plays an important part of the heritage of industry in Lithgow. Today we still hear long coal trains rumbling on the track over the Blue Mountains towards the sea.

There are more heritage carriages down at the local Railway Station (shown below). Yes it was a very grey day.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
