Australia:Tropic of Capricorn

                                          Australia, :Tropic of Capricorn


Located near Alice Springs Australia, stands this marker denoting the Tropic of Capricorn

This magnificent marker denotes the sun's most southern position during it's annual progression across our sky. Every year , on or near December 21st, the sun reaches this point, then begins to travel northward again as people in the northern hemisphere eagerly await warmer summer temperatures.
