Lithgow

SOLIS will also need to know
when the floodlights are put to use at night in order for an image of the light pillar to be taken side-on from the other side of the highway, a few min exposure.
the contact phone e-mail of the advertiser (Hotelier??)
After that SOLIS will provide contact for all councilors, radio Stations, Newspapers,TV,
State and Fed members and seek the support of all LP advocates in Australia.
See attachment as example of image. (Only have tiff image)
Will send example later.

Awaiting response, must be someone nearby?

Those billboards are quite noticeable on a trip from Wiruna and I have not been able to work out what club it is. I just seems to refer to a club (possibly workers club) about 10 km further on.

This would be a hazard to aviation too! When you find out who did this complain to C.A.S.A. They'll hit them with an injunction before the following night.

you could try Google using street view along the highway/road in question if you know the rough whereabouts.. billboards and signs are usually readable.
