This is a 27 shot panorama of the Crux & Carina region of the Milky Way above an old abandoned farmhouse at Gillingarra, about 2 hours north of Perth in Western Australia.

As I do with all my locations, I scouted this on Google Maps and jumping into Streetview I could see a nice old, but mostly intact, farmhouse. But those images were over ten years old and unfortunately the years weren't kind to the old house, its roof had collapsed and most of the back wall along with it. Oh well, I wish farmers in Western Australia took more pride in their historic little farmhouses like they do in South Australia.
