Weather office

This would have been the Longreach weatther office. Like most such field offices I'm fairly sure it now is deserted and automated, though the Dines Anemometer still is there at right. In the foreground (that dish mounted on a turret) an old WF2 wind-finding radar, as I used to operate long ago. It's now very much a museum piece. Behind, to the left, is the current Longreach weather radar, you can see its current output here. Footnote: If you'd like to see the current Longreach weather, click the little box at lower right in the "map features" section of the radar page. The red number is temperature, blue is wind speed. Reposted to wish everyone a HFF and a great weekend.

Ain't goin' nowhere! Abandoned railway line seen in inland NSW. Here's a musical link . Still travelling for a little while yet. Explored.

Truckin!

Just occasionally there comes a bend in the road, to help maintain attention. There also are many large trucks, such as this "B-Double" (ie two trailers) which was leaving us plenty of room. On the trucking theme, here's a musical link.
