I have passed this property hundreds of times, and finally stopped today to take a few photos. The property is just a hundred metres or so from, and overlooking Bass Strait, which is between Tasmania and mainland Australia.

This place actually has electric. If this was in Wisconsin it would not.
Nice shot!

I've been in some remote parts of Wisconsin that had electricity. What region are you talking about?

Terrific composition - a photo with "personality." Great job.

Minong area has many remote places without electric, to far off the road to run and people cannot afford that cost.

I knew that parts of Wisconsin didn't get rural electrification until well after WWII, but I didn't know parts were left out. My mom grew up without electricity or indoor plumbing in Adams County, Illinois. In fact that farm never got indoor plumbing even by the 1960s. Perhaps you know of rural historian Jerry Apps who's done public television documentaries about growing up in Central Wisconsin in the 1940s. When he tells people about the terrible blizzards, isolating their farm for a week or two, they will ask what his family did when the power went out. "Just the same as always," he says. "We didn't have any power." The little nearby town of Wild Rose, had water generated power for limited hours per day, but nobody out of town did.
