This is a 77 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above St Andrews Church in Greenhills, 1.5 hours east of Perth in Western Australia.  

This was kind of a last minute decision to shoot at this location. I had intended to spend most of the night in Quairading, about half an hour further east but halfway through the night a large bank of cloud rolled in. I decided to pack up and leave but thought of stopping here first as it was on the way home anyway. When I got here there wasn't a cloud in sight, a nice surprise :)
