Moomba is really in the middle of nowhere. Just before I took this photo the plane took off. All the workforce is fly in fly out. I really had no idea how large in area the oil and gas field out here was. There are oil wells all the way from inside Queensland near Noccundra to here and and beyond.

The Strzelecki Track is no longer a track, it is a gravel highway able to cope with heaving road trains carrying fuel and heavy mobile plant. There are a lot of small scale oil and gas projects going on with small camps scattered throughout the "desert".
