We crossed the Nullarbor, hit the longest straight road in Australia, visited the Skylab crash site, and had a few mild existential crises along the way.

Now the dome lives in WA, ready to do some science. Because… science. Obviously.

I hauled a giant observatory across the entire country.
Melbourne to Perth. 3.5 days. One trailer. Endless servo coffee.

#Cook 🇦🇺 in the middle of no… err, in the middle of the #Nullarbor Plain. A fresh-air stop, as remote as it can get: #Adelaide and #Perth are each more than 1,000 kms away. And: it’s THE opportunity for everyone to take pictures of the #IndianPacific, its 27 cars and the loco.

This one for the road between my childhood and adulthood. I always think its about the #Nullarbor. The term being Latin and yes folks a mate of mine managed to reverse his car into a tree whilst crossing. He was a high achiever in such things.

Well, the drums rolled off in my forehead
And the guns went off in my chest
Remember carrying the baby just for you
Crying in the wilderness

The #Nullarbor Plain is renowned for its hot, dry, and flat landscape, often described as featureless. Yet, beneath this vast expanse lies an incredible and fragile cave system, largely unexplored and unknown to many. Regular visitors to these caves are deeply concerned that a proposed development could jeopardise this unique underground world. Preserving these delicate caves should be a priority to protect their beauty and ecological significance. #ProtectNullarborCaves #hydrogen #overdevelopment #renewables
