Icons 1 of 3


I'll end this tour of Kandos with some images of things common in country towns that are not necessarily found in the  cities.  Icon 1 -- barb wire and chicken wire fences (and another of my favourites - derilict buildings).

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.
