Once Australia's northern capital, Newcastle Waters became a ghost town (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In an abandoned hotel in the Northern Territory ghost town of Newcastle Waters, Wayne Kraft says he can hear the walls talk. Walking through the building, he imagines the patrons and staff once occupying what was the only pub for hundreds of kilometres in every direction. "It's the pub with no beer," he says from the front bar, a stubby from home in hand. Today, Newcastle Waters is a humble collection of deserted buildings and tin sheds, but imagine an alternate reality where the town is not onl

Nearly 350 kilometres of a Northern
NT government opens door to AI industry powered by Beetaloo gas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the AI industry arrives in the Northern Territory, Australia's most isolated and least populated jurisdiction wants to grow its gas and data sectors at the same time. The NT government has thrown its support behind both industries as 12 data centre proponents eye a range of locations from rural blocks near Darwin to vast cattle stations. The companies have arrived just in time to take advantage of natural gas due to flow from the Beetaloo Basin later this year. It has sparked alarm from envir
