How much coal would the French have to find under the Louvre to destroy it? How much gas would the UK need to find under Stonehenge to knock it down?

It really is difficult to put into words how incredible and awe-inspiring Murujuga is.

It's a truly unique record of the history and creativity of the human species.

So, 1 year ago today, after spending the previous (entire) night at Blanchetown enjoying my first big aurora, I headed out again. This time to Eudunda. And it was even better than the night before! Just incredible! I'll never forget it.
