“One of these days I want to spend a night in a remote place...far,far from civilization...on a crystal clear night.”

That’s easy to do in Australia. I hear that when you get away from Sydney and Melbourne, the continent is mostly empty.

Yup,having traveled in Australia it's been my experience that when you're 100 miles or more from the ocean you're in the middle of nowhere.

Many years ago we drove from Tampa to Key West.It was a long drive and,given that it was late and we were tired,we decided to spend the night on Marathon Key which is about half way down the Keys.It was crisp (for Florida at least) and crystal clear night and I remember being spellbound by all the stars I saw that night...it was the first time I really understood how many there were.

I'd love to do it again.
