Lake Perkolilli

Location Details

not well known (except to locals like me) camping site about an hours drive from Kalgoorlie, Lake Perkolilli is a dry, brown lake that on first view has little going for it (from a nightscape perspective). The lake is relatively featureless, as small shrubs growing through portions of the lake, and is typically criss-crossed with car and bike tracks from previous visitors. A husk of a car and the odd tree are the only things that break up the plain of this lake.

From an astrophotography perspective (i.e. just shooting the night sky), the skies a reasonably dark in most directions except north and west. A nearby mine site prevents the lake from having truly dark skies.

Lake Perkolilli is a nice place to camp - photography would be secondary here.
