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.
Unity College offers a 400+ hour Seasonal Law Enforcement Training Program for students wishing to work in national parks as law enforcement rangers. Students reside at Acadia National Park's Schoodic Education and Research Center for the program. Students log hours at the range to prepare.
a brief bit of sunshine and blue sky yesterday, but then it rained and we went home, then it hailed and rained some more!!

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;

HUGH PROBY,
THIRD SON OF THE EARL OF
CAREYSFORT;

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.

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.

Denali National Park contains Mt. McKinley, highest mountain peak in North America at 20, 320 ft. It is in the center of the Alaskan Range which arcs across central Alaska. Mt. McKinley has a higher rise (foot plateau to peak) than Mt. Everest, even though Mt. Everest is almost 9,000 ft higher at its peak. At 6 million acres, Denali N.P. is larger in area than the states of Delaware, Rhode Island, and Connecticut combined.

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.
