This will probably get buried, but so what.

A map of good and bad wind locations can be found at http://www.climatechange.gov.au/what-you-need-to-know/renewa ble-energy/atlas/~/media/publications/renewable-energy/atlas /mean-wind-speed.ashx.

The subject for link is no longer there. Even did a search for "mean wind speed" and "nean wind speed atlas" and just "wind speed atlas" but did not come up with a result.
There was a map at http://www.environment.gov.au/apps/boobook/mapservlet?app=re a that you can zoom in on but I'll be stuffed if I could figure what it was showing.

Good try, but ....

http://www.climatechange.gov.au/what-you-need-to-know/renewa ble-energy/atlas.aspx is the one. Click on the Sample maps under the "Wind atlas' (map).

I'm not sure where the rest of trhe original 'link' came from!

Hi Neil,

I see you still have not mastered posting a link yet.

It makes life easier for the rest of us if you could post direct links.

This is Neils first link he posted minus the spaces:

http://www.climatechange.gov.au/what-you-need-to-know/renewa ble-energy/atlas/~/media/publications/renewable-energy/atlas /mean-wind-speed.ashx

This gives the map oztules just posted.

It is an embedded PDF, perhaps you need adobe acrobat installed which I already have on my PC so I can't check to see if the link would load without it.

Cheers,
Rob

At 80m above ground level would be a little useless in its information for the average home windmill

It could be high wind at 80m and almost still air at ground level.

The government is good at producing useless information and this is a prime example.

Its as much use as bull-boobs!
