Weather office

This would have been the Longreach weatther office. Like most such field offices I'm fairly sure it now is deserted and automated, though the Dines Anemometer still is there at right. In the foreground (that dish mounted on a turret) an old WF2 wind-finding radar, as I used to operate long ago. It's now very much a museum piece. Behind, to the left, is the current Longreach weather radar, you can see its current output here.

Footnote: If you'd like to see the current Longreach weather, click the little box at lower right in the "map features" section of the radar page. The red number is temperature, blue is wind speed.

Reposted to wish everyone a HFF and a great weekend.

IMPECCABLE et excellemment partagée. Une station avec du matériel ancien mais toujours opérationnel je suppose. Excellent partage.
Bonne et agréable soirée.

Thank you Malik. Yes, it's still very much operational, but now fully automated and with no staff.

An interesting weather office. Now abandoned as you said? That would be intriguing for me as I'm a fan of urbexing :-)
Apparently, the weather in Longreach has not been deserted ;-)

tiabunna replied to Edna Edenkoben:

I don't think the Weather Bureau would want you urbexing there, Edna. Although the office is now deserted, instead there's a lot of very fancy automated equipment still in operation there.
