Telescopes and more telescopes

Weather is still pretty hot over here but I think it may be a tad cooler when we get to the coast at the weekend. We plan to reach Kyogle tomorrow.
Yesterday we stopped off to  see an array of CSIRO telescopes about 20k from Narrabri. Very impressive. They are mounted on 3k of railway line so can be moved closer and further apart. They rotate together like synchronised swimmers. We got quite excited when a group of workmen arrived with a big cherry picker with an enormous mobile arm on it but they clearly didn't work fast and when we left half an hour later nothing had happened. In fact the only activity we saw was a man with a pot of paint touching up the framework. Pictures attached.
The piccie of the terrain is supposed to show the heat in the distance shimering like water. It really has been quite warm.
Off to a car museum today before heading to Tenterfield for an overnight stop.
