Worth a repost.
How many of us would love to restore one of these.

Thanks Jeanette, now some of them would be a worthwhile project if one had the time and money.

Makes me sad to see these sentinels rusting away, when there would be many amateurs willing to restore and use them.

My dome was rescued from being taken to the tip. It came from Kaniva in Victoria.

Cheers,

Justin.

The one 12 000ft up California's White Mountain looks like it might have some good skies ...looks like a lonely place though....

It's sad to see them go into disrepair like that.

almost have to add mine to the list given the number of times i have used it this year - great to see the rediscovery - if not the the reuse potential
