Thread: Australia from Space!

  1. #1

    Exclamation Australia from Space!

    G'day All!
    I thought all you Northern Hemisphere folk might like to see what Australia looks like from Space.

    Note the large Desert areas in the Centre & the Great Dividing Range stretching along the East (RHS) Coast.

    Very impressive Baz.
    The colours man. Look at the colours.
    Hard to comprehend that we are looking at something the size of Europe and the Med.

    That's an awesome perspective Baz - I know you're in NSW but whereabouts are you in the pic - are you waving ?!

    Amazing view, Barry. It's incredible what those home-made hobby rockets can do nowadays

    Get a bigger pair of Binoculars! I am in that tiny whitish bit on the coast about 1/4 way up from the south.

    Nice picture, Barry.

    I wonder how they add this light 3D effect.

    Beautiful.

    I have been lucky to have been able to get a brief stop off on each coast. Back in '92 my ship pulled into Sydney. I got a couple days there and flew down to Tasmania before heading home. '97 I set up ship in Freemantle but unfortunately didn't get much time to wander. Definitely want to get back but where to go? So vast and so much to see!

    I think the vertical scale might be exaggerated a bit - I don't think Australia has mountains that reach out into space.
