This video comes pretty close to conveying that experience.

And yes to learning everything. I'm gonna go read the web page I used to double-check the name of the painting. Thanks, Phil. I like how at 2:20 or so it looks like van Gogh’s Starry Night.

Murchison's a good site for the `center' of the array but the geology and environment sure have their challenges. Still, I'm in favor of Australia hosting the array; I think there are far more practical problems to overcome in South Africa. I hope the SKA gets underway.
