You can read about my 1998 visit to Wittenoom here:
http://www.deadheart.org.uk/discographies/blue_sky_mining/wittenoom.html
It's in Western Australia - see http://www.multimap.com/wi/10967.htm for a
map, which you can zoom out on to get the perspective of the
location. There's also a map on the Dead Heart site above which shows
where a lot of the places mentioned in songs are to be found.
