Out of interest, where in the Riverland were you? (I'm from Berri originally)

Hi Stephen - yes the history is what made this so fascinating. I was in Lyrup and gave a solar system presentation to some junior schoolkids in Berri the day before.


For interest, have attached a composite showing the whole sun. Could not sharpen quite as much since panel boundaries were too obvious. Regards Ray
