This is a 240MP panorama of the Milky Way setting over Lake Clifton, approximately 100km south of Perth in Western Australia. 
As you can see, there was quite a bit of cloud cover on this particular night, I remember leaving home and thinking that I had forgotten to make a last minute check of the weather satellite and of course the sky was full of cloud when I arrived! I waited around hoping for a break in the cloud and luckily they drifted away in time to get a couple of panoramas in (I posted the second pano late last year). 
Lake Clifton is known as one of the few places left in the world where you can see thrombolites, or living fossils as they are 
also called. The water level was too high to image them here though.
