CALL HOME REVERSE CHARGES
Winton Wetlands can be a wonder at night. A twenty minute exposure of the night sky allows us to see star trails and then those stars in themselves cast enough light to make the blackest night seem like day. That pole once carried wires on the insulators, but no phone calls now.

WINTON BY NIGHT
Winton Wetlands in Northern Victoria near Benalla is a highly recommended location for astrophotography due to its dark skies and unique foreground elements, particularly its thousands of artistic dead trees. The area offers exceptional opportunities for capturing clear, wide-field nightscapes, including the Milky Way and the Aurora Australis.

CONVICT BARRACKS
The ruins at Highfield near Stanley, Tasmania, are primarily the remnants of the convict barracks built for the Van Diemen's Land Company in 1834 and occupied from 1836. The barracks were part of a larger historic site that was the center of the company's activities, with construction of the nearby main Highfield House beginning in 1832. The barracks were used to house convicts assigned to the company and have since been preserved as a ruin.

LONDON BRIDGE
London Bridge is a natural limestone arch located near the Twelve Apostles in Victoria's Port Campbell National Park on the Great Ocean Road. Once a double-span bridge connected to the mainland, it became a single arch after the span closest to the shore collapsed into the ocean in January 1990. Visitors can view the formation from two viewing platforms and are sometimes able to see little penguins returning to shore at dusk.

PORT FAIRY LIGHT STATION
The Port Fairy Light Station, also known as Griffiths Island Lighthouse, is a historic bluestone structure built in 1859 to guide ships into the Moyne River. Located at the eastern tip of Griffiths Island, it is a key navigation aid for the historic port and a popular spot for visitors to walk around, often spotting wildlife such as wallabies and shearwater birds. The lighthouse was automated in 1954 after being manned by a keeper for many decades.

KANYAKA
Kanyaka Sheep Station is a historic ruin in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, notable for its large 19th-century homestead and woolshed ruins. Established in 1852 by Hugh Proby, who tragically drowned while crossing a flooded creek in 1852, the station grew significantly but was eventually abandoned in 1888 due to severe drought, which destroyed over 20,000 sheep. Today, the site is a heritage-listed attraction with ruins including the homestead, woolshed, and other buildings.

MOONTA COPPER MINE
The Moonta copper mines, located in South Australia, were a major mining enterprise from 1861 to 1923, operating using skills and technology brought by Cornish miners. The mines produced around 170,000 tonnes of copper metal and were the longest-worked mines in the South Australia before closing in 1923 due to a dispute over wage cuts after the First World War. The site is now a UNESCO World Heritage tentative list site for its Cornish mining heritage.
