Dark Sky Reserve, Little Corellas & Mid Murray Pools - Mayor Burgess

A world-first space observatory to track space traffic has opened in the Murraylands.

Using FM radio waves, Silentium Defence is tracking objects orbiting the Earth up to 10,000km into the sky from the edge of the internationally recognised Dark Sky Reserve.

As the area is an ideal area for stargazing and tracking objects in space, a lot of work is going on to secure its promising future.

Mid Murray Council Mayor Dave Burgess joins Jennie Lenman in this podcast to talk about the issue, along with news about the Cambrai and Mannum pools opening and to share his thoughts on how to tackle overabundant Little Corella populations in SA.
