After months of development Telstra have launched their SL presence. And a significant presence it is - eleven islands called The Pond, Ponderosa, Billabong, Ponden, Ponderama, Pondessa, Pondex, Pondfield, Pondice, Pondillion and Pondshen (pictured above). Each offers a range of activities and sights which we’ll cover in-depth in future, but for now an overview of the sights:

Uluru:

The BigPond Dome:

A highlight, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, fireworks included:

Check it out for yourself

We’d love to hear your initial impressions - are you inspired or indifferent? Do you find the whole thing amazing or kitsch? Let us know.
