Here's my favourite image from last night's impromptu mini road trip to Cape Palliser.

Conditions were just perfect - no cloud, no moon, just the Milky Way spread across the sky in its full glory. It was amazing to spend a few hours there and not see another human, just a few possums staring at me with their glowy eyes. I swear I heard one of them mutter "go home, weirdo" but it may have been the wind. I guess we'll never know.

There may have been some Aurora activity, which would explain the reddish tint in the sky above the horizon.
