We went to my aunt’s house today, and of course that means going through the countryside.

I always enjoy it to look at all of the lights out there. I saw lots of GE 201 SA NEMAs, a few AEL NEMAs and various LEDs. I even saw a GE Town and Country post top and an acorn post top.

I didn’t get any pics, as we’ve all seen most of these, but I do enjoy seeing them, especially when not driving.

Sounds interesting, when I visit my gran we sometimes go to some more family who live in rural Queensland, always interesting to see the old minor road lights used out there.

Oh cool. We don’t really have much roadway lights here in the country, other than sometimes along highway intersections.

Most of the lights there are either private lights people install themselves, or leased lights on their own land.

Looka at the intersection between Solitaire cct and sandalwood ave, Dalby, QLD, Australia on streerview, there are tones of little towns all throughout Queensland (QLD), most of the lighting is on timber power poles like at 23 Moffiatt St, Goondiwindi, QLD, Australia on google maps. I'm writing the street names because I'm on my phone and Web streetview is useless on  mobile. The lights are Sylvania Streetled mk3s, a staple of Queensland.

I'm in QLD right now, really surprised about the amount of HID lamps still around, in smaller cities up the coast majority are still sylvania roadsters/urbans (ones on Bruce Hwy), with a couple LED here and there to replace the broken lamps presumably. Even in Brisbane CBD I managed to spot quite a few 80w or 125w MV and some quartz metal halide on top of streets generally lit by HPS. In NSW virtually all discharge lights are gone and retrofitted to LEDs, except in really difficult to reach places maybe.

Hehe, I'm in Brissy too now! I went up the pacific highway and will go to Toowoomba and back down the newell highway. Got some decent photos of hps lights.
