Australia has a series of 50kW AM radio broadcast stations two or more in each state. With a good radio it is possible to receive news from across the country.
In Albany WA, I am receiving 612kHz Brisbane QLD.

Boddington
Boddington has many welded steel sculptures. And also a magnificent playground played for by a mining company.

Dead trees
At Kent St Weir Canning - dead trees are trimmed and left standing to preserve nesting hollows.
