Understood Nick (Of course you could sell the clubs to make some money and some room!
)
But you should try to get out with someone with a scope. People gather south of Melbourne at the Mornington Peninsular Astrom Society (search "Briars" on this site
http://www.mpas.asn.au/BOS1.htm ) or go west to Snake Valley (
http://snake-valley-astro.000webhost.info/welcome.html ). If you are interested, shout out and I'm sure you can team up with someone who can give you a lift or directions - to meet folks and check out scopes. I hope to go to Snake Valley on 5th.
Cheers
