Maybe when this blows over we may get back to being a great country again Lawrene.
First we had the droughts, much of Australia didn't see any rain for more than 3 years.....

Then we had the floods........

And now we have Covid-19.
Lawrene this will pass and I am constantly reminded why, despite the challenges, I love this country.
I have been to most countries on earth but nowhere are the stars as bright as they are in Australia. I have a feeling this is because the view of the night sky from Australia is towards the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, and the concentration of stars is greater than it is in the northern hemisphere. I have driven a car with a failed alternator on an outback dirt road with nothing other than starlight to guide me. I have taken pictures on my phone at 11.00pm at night that look like they were taken at 5.00pm on a cloudy afternoon.
The first time you go into the outback and look up at a cloudless sky, it’s almost frightening and in a way it feels oppressive…..it feels like the sky is closing in on you!
This shot is taken with an Oppo R9s mobile phone without time lapse and is not far off true correct visual perspective………Its what the eye will see!
It was taken at a small country town in South Australia's Flinders Ranges called Blinman at about 1.15am.
To sit a mile out of Blinman on that night you could quite clearly read a book by starlight!
And that's something you can only do in Australia!
Cheers…….Rob
