Would be nice, is it something like Sutherland (South Africa) ? I was there 4 years ago close to SALT.

I also remember Greyhound bus trips I made in 2000 and 1988 from Mt Isa via Tennant Creek to Alice Springs, where during a night stop at a gas station the sky was overwhelmingly clear and dark, in the middle of Northern Territory. And similar trips in Queensland.

Where is the SKA (Square Kilometer Array) ? Or is it in WA ?
