Video of the Day: The Bald Hills wind farm

Published by

Australia’s newest wind farm, the 106.6MW Bald Hills Wind Farm in South Gippsland Victoria, has been a long time in the making, thanks to opposition from locals – including DLP Senator John Madigan – policy uncertainty, and the federal government’s stated dislike of wind farms.

So we think this time-lapse video, featuring the construction of one of the project’s 52 turbines, is pretty satisfying. What do you think?
