Photographs of Starfish Hill Wind Farm:
Wind in the Bush

Photography by Dave Clarke. More of my wind turbine photos are on Flickr

Starfish Hill was the first windfarm to be built in South Australia.
It is on the Fleurieu Peninsula, about eighty kilometres south of Adelaide.

	Turbines of Salt Creek Hill with the water of St Vincent Gulf behind them; from Starfish Hill. A technique called high dynamic range (HDR) photography was used to bring out the detail in the foreground hills - it would have been missed in a standard exposure because of the very bright light reflected from Saint Vincent Gulf.
	Looking from the public road on Salt Creek Hill toward the turbines on Starfish Hill itself. There are 8 turbines on Starfish Hill and 15 on the lower Salt Creek Hill.
