PHOTOS FROM WARRAMUNGA AND SURROUNDINGS

NEAR TENNANT CREEK, NORTHERN TERRITORY

These photos are taken in the vicinity of Tennant Creek, Northern Territory. The ANU operates Warramunga Seismic and Infrasonic Facility for CTBTO, with its centre located in Vienna. Devils Marbles are south of Tennant Creek along the Stuart Highway, and the abandoned telegraph station is to the north. Due to its remoteness and a minimum amount of antropogenic and microseismic noise, this location is of a great value in monitoring global earthquakes and explosions.
