That's normal, about 42 metres or thereabouts, they are manufactured here in Portland along with the towers and shipped worldwide.

The Big Wind Turbine Blade at Mount Bryan SA.
I put this up as a ride in 2012 but failed to post in this topic. I notice the tourist boards have now gone up as I took mine just after they put the blade up. http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=1557.msg14296#msg14296

It's more interesting in WA when there's no fence between you and the cattle

They obviously recognise you from somewhere.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The old Burra copper mine chimney - moved from the mine site to beside the main road through town some time ago. I finally got this shot after a few years of going past it when ever I went into Burra instead of going via the truck by-pass route.

A Big Trike somewhere out in the WA wheat belt.    It's a clever use of some train wheels, and I suspect that it has never been ridden.
