Peter,

Actually, when I was an undergrad at UWA, circa late 1970’s , the city of Perth did indeed turn off many suburban street lights at around 2.00am...I moved to “the eastern states” in 1980....begging the question: do any Sandgropers on IIS know if they still do that environmentally friendly act?

I wish they would switch off all of Melbourne's lights one night -
plan it properly so there's no Moon, and a clear night.
For millions of people it would be the first time they saw the beauty of the Milky Way.


cheers
Allan
