Back in good old late '69 I had to walk home from the girlfriend's home at 2AM. No street lights on after 1:00 AM.
It was so dark I could not tell what street I was on. I could not see the street signs. I waited for a car to illuminate the sign. It took about 4 hrs to walk home.
From West Beach to West Hindmarsh (Adelaide)
That was Christmas time. No lights any where. No street lights or christmas lights. The sky was a mass of white. I have not seen the sky like that since except in dark country areas.
