india four two. as you drove into Penong from Ceduna you passed down a valley that you can see just in front of the wing of the grumman in my shot.
that valley had some sort of artesian water supply under it and it had something upwards of a hundred windmills across it pumping water.
the sight of these windmills as you came down the valley into town was quite something.
when mains power finally made it to town the windmills all went and were replaced by some electric pumps.
on my last drives through the town I have noticed the windmills making a slow comeback. seems the locals miss the charm of the things.
all their touristy stuff is based on the windmills.
Penong is wheat belt country. the South Aussies have pushed the wheat areas out quite a way past Penong now.
