We may not be there yet but we're headed that way.

I have to share credit for this shot with @boyfrombruce.bsky.social as he suggested this angle. This was Friday night at our campground at Gluepot Reserve, looking straight up through the mallee scrub. With a glimpse of the Milky Way. We really struck it lucky with perfectly clear skies.
