Places to see in ( Otley - UK )
Otley is a market town and civil parish at a bridging point on the River Wharfe in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Otley is in lower Wharfedale on the A660 which connects it to Leeds. The parish church (All Saints) has 7th-century origins. Otley lies 28 miles (45 km) south-west of York, 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Leeds, 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Bradford, and 196 miles (315 km) from London. The town lies in lower Wharfedale at a bridging point of the River Wharfe where there is a seven arched medieval bridge and is surrounded by arable farmland. The historic town developed on the south bank of the Wharfe, but in the 20th century Otley expanded north of the river, to include new developments at Newall and the Weston Estate.
The south side of the valley is dominated by a gritstone escarpment overlooking Otley called the Chevin and to the north is Newall Carr. In 1944, Major Le G.G.W. Horton Fawkes of Farnley Hall donated 263 acres (1.1 km²) of land on the Chevin to the people of Otley. To the east and west of Otley are flooded gravel pits, where sand and gravel have been extracted in the 20th century. The gravel pits to the east at Knotford Nook are a noted birdwatching site. Those to the west are devoted to angling and sailing.
The main roads through the town are the A660 to the south east, which connects Otley to Bramhope, Adel and Leeds city centre, and the A65 to the west, which goes to Ilkley and Skipton. The A6038 heads to Guiseley, Shipley and Bradford, connecting with the A65. To Harrogate, the A659 heads east to the A658, which is the main Bradford–Harrogate road. Otley bus station is run by West Yorkshire Metro and services are operated by First West Yorkshire, TLC, Utopia and Harrogate Coach Travel. There are local services connecting the town and outlying areas. Otley railway station opened in 1865 and closed in March 1965; the town bypass follows the line of the old railway.
Otley has a diverse range of cultural organisations. It has five active Morris dance sides, the Wharfedale Wayzgoose (Border), The Buttercross Belles (Ladies Northwest), Flash Company (Border, Molly, Appalachian & Clog), Hellz Bellz (Contemporary) and Kitchen Taps (Appalachian Step). Drama groups include the Otley Community Players, Otley Youth Theatre (OY), and a thriving arts centre in the former courthouse. There is a poetry society, which meets monthly in the Black Horse Hotel. The town has a Brass Band who perform at many events in the town.
Otley hosts the annual Otley Folk Festival in September, a Victorian Fayre in December, a carnival in June, and, in May, what is reputed to be the oldest one day agricultural show in the country. This celebrated its bicentenary in 2009. There is a beer festival, organised by the church, in November. Otley once vied with a handful of towns for the distinction of having the most pubs per head of population in England.

Broken Hill, Outback NSW, Australia
Broken Hill is a mining town in outback New South Wales, Australia.
The line of load in Broken Hill is the richest deposit of Silver, Lead and Zinc in the world. We saw a beautiful sunrise and a huge Wedge Tail Eagle just sitting on a fence. There were also a lot of Emu's around.
We had a look around the town and saw the fountain at the Twin Lakes. We stopped to have a look at the Court House. It is a very beautiful old building. While we were there I had a close look at a sort of dug out canoe.
Carved from Bloodwood, it represents a contemporary interpretation of aspects from traditional indigenous culture, including images portraying animals from the river. The canoe is made in two pieces, weighs approximately one tonne and contains water to represent a certain irony that it has lost it's function-it cannot float. Water is vital to this region and to the traditional people, the BAAKANTJI, which literally translates as People of the Darling River.
We visited Brown's Shaft at the Junction Mine and then went to see where The Royal Flying Doctor is based.
On top of JP Keenan lookout, you get a good view around Broken Hill.
We went to see the gallery of the famous painter, Pro Hart. There was an amazing painted Rolls Royce car! At the Living Desert, there are Sandstone sculptures and a Flora and Fauna sanctuary.

Waddi Roadhouse, Riverina NSW
Just a normal Aussie Roadhouse - although it is more like the older style ones and not one of the new Plastic Fantastic places that feeds you plastic food, poor manners and poor attitudes!
It is certainly different to what I saw when I was in America a few years ago!
Making a Country Change to Murrumbidgee
Before moving to the Murrumbidgee area in April 2017, Claire and Ken Walsh were living in Applecross, WA, where the median house price is a whopping $1.6 million. This is nearly 10 times the median price of $165,000 for a house in the township of Coleambally, where the Walsh’s bought their beautiful 5-bedroom home with a pool for just $200,000.
The Murrumbidgee area, located between Wagga Wagga, Leeton and Griffith, is predominantly a farming and irrigation area and referred to as, ‘the food bowl of Australia.’ Over the past five years, it has had the fastest employment growth in the Riverina-Murray region, and although agriculture is the main employing industry, there are always opportunities to start something new or unique in a country town. Claire runs her own picture framing business, and is really proud to be able to bring something a bit different to the community. ‘It’s unusual to have something like picture framing in a small town, so the locals really enjoy it,’ she said. ‘It’s beneficial to these small towns to have new people come along who have different abilities and backgrounds.’
Originally from a country town, Claire already had a love for rural life. ‘I also love the city and the creature comforts that come with that lifestyle, but it’s always nice to come back to the country,’ said Claire. ‘It’s got so much more to offer, especially for the kids.’ The Walsh’s love being able to spend more time with their two kids, who often say, ‘wow, we couldn’t have done this is Perth!’ As the median age of the Murrumbidgee population is falling, and volunteer numbers remain above the state and regional averages, it’s not only a great place for families to live, work and play, but it’s also a safe and secure community for retirees.
Fear of the unknown can make it difficult to leave something that you’re comfortable with, even if you’re not entirely happy. ‘We tend to ignore the things that we don’t like and tell ourselves it’ll just get better as we go along,’ said Ken, who knew that life could be different for his family. Not only does the Murrumbidgee have so much to offer families, but it also presents newcomers with great opportunities to contribute to a community in a way that’s very rare in city life - and this experience alone is priceless.
The average weekly rent across the Shire is just $150, which is another very affordable option for those who are curious about making the country change. ‘At least come for a holiday if you can, and just check it out,’ urges Claire. Perhaps you could stay at the gorgeous, family-operated Murrumbidgee Cottages, before embarking on a uniquely Australian safari tour of the Altina Wildlife Park? Or maybe camping at Darlington Point and exploring Ned Kelly’s connection to Jerilderie is more your scene? Come and find out what the Murrumbidgee can do for you, and what you can do for the Murrumbidgee.

World's Biggest Battery and Pumped Hydro store electric energy video
Battery storage of electricity for use in Peak Periods has been used in South Australia from the very first introduction of electricity in this State. 50 tons of Sulphuric Acid was used in the battery at East Terrace Conversion Station (CS). There were a number of Conversion Stations around Greater Adelaide. .
Metroplitan Tramways Trust (M.T.T.) had it's own Power Station at Port Adelaide to power its 100 Km of tram lines.
The video also explores possible locations for Pumped Hydro in South Australia. Pumped Hydro stores electric energy using gravity with non-drinking water.
Tesla is famous for promoted largest lithium-ion battery in the world. Samsung 21700-size cells are used.
The South Australian Weatherall Government underwrote the battery.
It is owned and operated by Neoen, with the government having the right to call on the stored power under certain circumstances.
It provides a total of 129 megawatt-hours (460 GJ) of storage capable of discharge at 100 megawatts (130,000 hp) into the power grid, which is contractually divided into two parts.
70 MW running for 10 minutes (11.7 MWh) is contracted to the government to provide stability to the grid (grid services) and prevent load-shedding blackouts while other generators are started in the event of sudden drops in wind or other network issues. This service has reduced the cost of grid services to the Australian Energy Market Operator by 90%.
30 MW for 3 hours (90 MWh) is used by Neoen for load management to store energy when prices are low and sell it when demand is high.
in December 2015 John Thistleton reported
ACT government's second large-scale wind reverse-auction has achieved Australia's lowest known contract price for renewables at $77 per megawatt hour.
The Neoen Hornsdale project in South Australia, which also secured a guaranteed feed-in tariff contract in the government's first-round wind auction, has been awarded a feed-in tariff for 100 megawatts of the available 200 megawatts in the second wind auction.
Developed by French renewable energy company Neoen International SAS, in partnership with Australian company Megawatt Capital Investments, it will power enough electricity for 56,000 Canberra homes and provide 13 per cent of the ACT's projected electricity demand in 2020.
Environment Minister Simon Corbell says the deal will deliver more than $10 million in economic benefits to the ACT as well as strengthening the territory's position as an internationally recognised centre for renewable energy innovation and investment.
Murraylink HIgh Voltvage DC interconnector would be used to get the electricity to Australian Capital Territory (ACT). This uses HVDC Light
