The head of a company developing gas in a vast 28,000km-wide Northern Territory basin south of Darwin says...

++++++++++

28000 km = 17400 miles

The earth is 25000 miles in circumference

There is either a decimal point error in the 28K number or this basin is the size of 75% of the earth.

There is, however, strong opposition to fracking from environmentalists.

The Basin is HUGE and it's practically devoid of human life, and yet the enviros have to voice their opposition.
