Here’s my twenty-first instalment of maps I’ve made for Dangerous Waters. The three maps are:
Two area of north-west Western Australia:
* The North West Cape Training Area
* Curtin Training Area
And…inspired by Chazly recently playing ‘African Bees Nest’:
* A ‘more detailed’ map of the Senegalese coast, including The Gambia.
Map Information
The North West Cape Training Area
The North West Shelf, situated in the north-west of Western Australia, is Australia’s largest resource development project. It involves the extraction of petroleum at offshore production platforms, onshore processing and export of liquefied natural gas.
Located near the town of Exmouth, RAAF Base Learmonth is a joint use Royal Australian Air Force base and civil airport. RAAF Base Learmonth is one of the RAAF’s three bare bases. It is maintained by the RAAF’s 25 Squadron and a small caretaker staff during peacetime. The RAAF also operates the Learmonth Air Weapons Range.
Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt is a joint Australian and United States naval communication station. The station provides very low frequency (VLF) radio transmission to United States Navy, Royal Australian Navy and allied ships and submarines in the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean.
