Rob home is a pain in that it takes me a good bit of the night to catch
everything due to the limited horizens.So I don't mind to travel for now

Work is redeveloping a couple of avo blocks and the power company is going to put a new big voltage line in for ballinas ever growing population.
-28° 51' 49.80", +153° 26' 20.93"

which when done will remove a 50 m high double row of orchard wind breaks
opening up a very dark (hopefully) southern horizen. I've been waiting on this for a while as it will give me an easily accesable pretty dark sky to observe from . The buildings to the north west do throw a little light but from where I'll be able to get now ( with the trees down ) and the new ones reamining small for several years shouldn't be a problem. There are a couple of houses behind these trees probably a 800 m or away but also not much else as they grow cane over there and there a couple of largely forested areas and really not many people.

dozers and machinary are at it now so it should be more than a couple of months till done

can't wait
