I'm sorry that I'm off-topic, but let's have a cultural minute here: while you're there, I've never succeded to locate the industries when I lived in Sydney. Does Australia get much of its energy from nuclear? Where are the plants located in NSW? Do you also have some petroleum industries like refineries? I've never seen refinery-type landscape (kilometers of stack chimneys). Do you have industrial landscapes in Australia, like we have in Europe with kilometers of factories, low-income workers, areas which are monitored for huge industrial risks? My question is as much about the geography of NSW as about the industrial sector of Australia.

Australia get's literally none of it's energy from nuclear - the Lucas Height's reactor is a research reactor (60% enriched uranium core) which manufactures medical isotopes for our part of Asia and supports research.

We have some of everything, but I can't think of anywhere where I'd say we have long industrial landscapes. NSW is quite agrarian, a fair bit of high tech industry, but you can still live in towns which run near coal transport lines (2um particulates are a big health concern for residents from the dust). I live in Sydney near the center, so it's pretty much all commerce.
