I will never forget what happened on my first day in December 1981 with a Seismic Survey Crew in Central Australia.
We flew out into the GAFA and upon landing were met by the Seismic Crew Boss who before taking us newbies to the camp site made a detour to ''show you something interesting''
This turned out to be a capped gas well almost hidden by regrown bush which was drilled sometime back in the early 1960s, but what really startled was the comment that there was enough gas in that well to service a city the size of Melbourne for many years!
The last I heard was that it still is not being used.
