Stirling Range National Park, Western Australia is home to hundreds and hundreds of plant species, many of which do not exist anywhere else in the world. In the Universe, I should think.
Furthermore, a number of rare marsupials and birds, some close to extinction, live here.
The Numbat, a curious striped little marsupial of which I unfortunately have no photo, is released into the park, and there is now a relatively stable population.

Flinders Ranges- Proby's grave
"Kanyaka Station was first taken up and stocked by Hugh Proby, the well-educated third son of the Earl of Carysfort, from Ireland. He came to South Australia in the Wellington which arrived at Port Adelaide on 30 May 1851.
Having both money ($10,000) and connections, Proby was soon looking for pastoral land to establish a cattle run rather than invest it in Adelaide property. Towards the end of 1851 Hugh Proby had taken up his first run on lease number 74, called the Moockra Range Run in the Flinders Ranges.
By February 1852 he had secured another run, Kanyaka on leases numbered 117 and 118, and had them both stocked with 1200 head of cattle. A month later Proby was the owner of three runs. He was able to employ a few men and by the end of May had a total of six men working for him, including an American, Tom Coffin, who had later a mountain near Copley named after him.
It now became time for Proby to consolidate his holdings and start building huts for himself and workers on one of these runs. Kanyaka was selected and one of the huts already in use there was enlarged and a start made with a second hut. Having used up almost all his money, Proby hoped to be able to sell his fattened cattle within two years and make a handsome profit.
Unfortunately for him, nature, unpredictable as ever, had different plans. During a violent thunderstorm on 30 August 1852 tragedy struck when some of his cattle stampeded. When Proby and his Aboriginal stockman rode out to hold the mob, they were confronted by the raging torrent of the Willochra Creek. When attempting to cross the creek Proby was swept from his horse and drowned.
Proby was buried the next day and some six years later his family had a gravestone shipped out from London on the Ballarat to Port Adelaide. From there the granite slab was hauled by bullock wagon to the site and placed on his grave where it remains today. It has now become a familiar landmark in the Flinders Ranges and known simply as Proby's Grave. The inscription reads;
SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
HUGH PROBY,
THIRD SON OF THE EARL OF
CAREYSFORT;
WHO WAS DROWNED
WHILE CROSSING
THE WILLOCHRA CREEK

Bombing Range - building
Whilst checking aerial photographs in the RCAHMS Search Room I noticed that the field centred on NH 9369 8733 had a very distinct white line from the South East corner to the centre of the field where there was a small white circular area.
106G/UK 751.31AUG45 6068 and 6069
I asked locally and found that this field is known as "The Target".
There is this concrete arrow at NH 93665 87133 (I will add a sketch with dimensions later). The arrow is pointing 10 degrees Magnetic.
There are also small buildings at NH 94116 87167 and NH 93484 86970. These are being used by the farm but look originally military.
Also a Quadrant Tower at NH 93053 86870 with main window facing 100 degrees Magnetic and side window 10 degrees Magnetic.
This is the building at NH 94116 87167.
It has a corridor with two small rooms at left, at least one a latrine. Another room to the right then larger room at the back. Modified for agricultural use.

This Project Facility Station was a Status and Control unit for missile firing. Designed by the U.S. Army Signal Corps it was installed at both Range Control and "C" Station.
It gave Range Control and White Sands Proving Ground a way to display the status of the Proving Ground: "Green" for "Go," "Red" for "No Go," A failure of the communications circuit was indicated by "Yellow." An alert bell signaled a change of status or a need to communicate by means of mechanical switch action. These units used vacuum tube technology.
They were in use around WSPG and later WSMR (Army Blockhouse, Launch Complex 33 and so on) from the 1950s until 1968, when the next generation of Status Indicators was developed by the Instrumentation Directorate.

Cumbria’s brightest and best music and arts festival, Solfest returns for 2023 with another delightfully diverse and exciting range of artists who will grace the stage and have you up and dancing this summer.
Springing up annually like a wild flower in the Cumbrian meadows, Solfest has evolved continually since its inception in 2003, transitioning from a local shindig, into one of the best loved of the UK's independent festivals.
Run by a dedicated team and a small army of volunteers, Solfest has stayed true to its anti-corporate roots. This means that art and decor take the place of ubiquitous advertising and the international big names on the mainstage don't drown out the voices of the hidden gems.
Solfest is all about eclecticism and although nothing shouts that louder than our handpicked line-ups, spanning genres and eras of music, that most certainly isn't where it stops. A broad group of very talented people come together each year at Solfest, to create an immersive environment with everything from a creative kid's area, to an array of interactive site art and even a Healing Garden where you can meditate, do some Yoga or participate in a Shamanic ritual!
Solfest is founded on the idea that what truly makes a festival great is the crowd... That's right, YOU. You are our driving force and over the years we've been proud to see that the spirit of inclusion we strive for has not been lost to the Solfest community.
Punks and ravers, grannies and toddlers, whoever you are or wherever you're from, Solfest has something for you. The fans own Solfest, whether you're a musician looking to play, a performer looking to show off your skills, an artist keen to help make the space come alive or you're simply looking for somewhere to dance, your collaboration defines the festival.

This computerized system controlled as many as six airborne targets or 32 ground targets in a formation. It flew the same types of targets as the Vega Target Control Console. The high-speed computer guaranteed accuracy of the target location to within eight feet. Six other flight control consoles and a master control console were used with this one. They were installed in Range Control Center, Building 300, in 1990.
