Coal
The power stations are of course associated with coal mines. We are driving through an area known as the Western Coalfield. I've noticed signs for the Springvale, Invincible, Ivanhoe North, Airly and Baal Bone mines. That's Invincible that you can see behind the truck below.
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.
And this pales into insignificance when you travel through the Hunter! But, it can only be dug out once.

ReplyDeleteJulie, you are right. But I wonder if we dug it all out whether we would then have to think of something more creative.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I hadn't thought about that.
