Description: Deep in the sun-scorched heart of the Cooper Basin, a remote outpost quietly powers a nation. This book traces the remarkable story of the Moomba gas fields, from the first discoveries beneath the desert sands to the sprawling network of wells, pipelines, and processing infrastructure that keeps the operation running today. Along the way, it explores the fly-in fly-out communities who call this harsh landscape home, the engineering feats required to tame it, and the environmental balancing act of extracting energy from one of Australia's most unforgiving frontiers. A fascinating look at life and industry beyond the black stump.
