Turbines by the bucketload

Just a little north of Burra the first of the turbines appears on a ridge running north south. It was easy to lose count as they were so numerous. Later after a little searching the following information clarified this mass of turning turbine.

There are 4 windfarms in the Hallet region
North Brown Hill 63 turbines 132.5MW
Brown Hill Range 45 turbines 94.5MW
Bluff Range  25 turbines 52.5MW
Hallet Hill 34 Turbines 71.4MW

So a little bit of maths means 167 turbines ( no wonder I lost count) pumping out 350KW of power. I now a treasurer thinks they are unsightly but these appeared majestically on the ridges.
