Barfold
What Barfold needs from a system.
Barfold is about twenty kilometres north east of Kyneton and fifteen kilometres south of Redesdale. It is a very small place with a community hall, a union church and the old railway station sign from the Redesdale line, now fixed on the hall. Barfold Gorge nearby is four kilometres long, up to eighty metres deep, with two waterfalls, basalt columns and a lava cave.
People live here for the quiet, in homes spread across farms and bush blocks a long way from town. That distance is the point to design around, as it makes a reliable battery and backup worth considering, and a long drive for a service call means the system should be built to be easy to look after.
