'Driving past the high-tech jumble of photovoltaic panels, poles and torques,
Bel Atkinson says to her kids proudly: "I built that out there."

It's not easy to spot the massive solar farm from the highway. You might catch
a glimpse of the Sun's reflection on the black glass panels if you're lucky.

But its position — largely hidden from view — is at odds with the impact it's
had on Narrandera – a small town in New South Wales with wide, tree-lined
boulevards and historic buildings, on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River.

And it started with the simplest things.'
