Neat! It's kinda pretty in that picture, although not a place I'm hankerin' to visit any time soon.
I'm sure there are a few people would object to running a strip through the pristine desert wilderness, threatening the habitat of rare spotted spinifex and blocking the migration of the even more rare paisley goanna, but what the heck. I'm only talking about a blight on the landscape about the width of the right of way of a four-lane superhighway, sort of, mostly, more or less.
Erm... quite a bit more down toward the Alice Springs end.
Well, that the environmental impact statement, which is likely to include providing irrigation water for a few odd square miles of the desert at the risk of maybe tripling the amount of arable land on the continent. I can see as to how that would be a horrible thing.
