Old Koreelah Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Since the closing of the Gove refinery, Nhulunbuy has lots of unused infrastructure. A twice-daily jet service, a port, clubs, pool, sporting facilities, cycle ways and lots of empty accomodation including several apartment blocks... Despite being on the same latitude as Darwin, it's climate is mobs milder- more like a tropical island. I hope the Gumatj people get this project off the ground.

Why we should always listen to our best SciFi authors: ...someone in the audience asked Arthur C. Clarke when the space elevator would become a reality. "Clarke answered, 'Probably about 50 years after everybody quits laughing,'" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
