Lightning Ridge via Broken Hill

 The trip begins. 

Today we travelled to Narrabri and just out of town we discovered “The Compact Array”. 

What is that you ask, because I did. 

 It’s a set of 6 satellite dishes on a railway track that allow the dishes the best position to study our galaxy and the sun.The whole world relies on this data. The best is that they are  all Australian Made . Evan’s Deacon from Brisbane did the steel work and all technical , electrical and digital is done by the CSIRO.(Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research  Organisation ) these dishes link with the one in the Warren-bungles near Coonabarabran and  the one in  Canberra and they produce a large picture of space.
