Pete Michell takes a look around one of the largest wind farms in the southern hemisphere. The area surrounding Millicent and Lake Bonney has always boasted a very considerable and very consistent resource, it's very, very windy! The cart-wheeling blades of these massive monoliths dominate the skyline around Lake Bonney and the Woakwine Range these days, and now you can follow a well signposted Tourist route which allows you to drive right up close and take a look… and a listen!...
