NSW, Sydney North, MANGROVE MOUNTAIN, (aka "The Pony Club")

• Crown Land but restricted access (Locked gate)
• Good Flat observing site, easy access, plenty of room, set up next to your vehicle, NO FACILITIES currently (NO Toilets, No Water, No Power)
• Dark sky, some low sky glow to the South from Sydney, some local light from distant street light to the south can be avoided by choosing your setup spot accordingly
• Restrictions (access may be denied when equestrian clubs are holding overnight campouts {once or twice a year})
• No camping
• How to get there: See sticky with directions and maps at the top of this forum. 1 hour north of Sydney, via M1, on Wisemans Ferry Road.
• Several IIS members have access key. Planned meetings Saturday closest to New Moon, a new Thread always posted in this forum. Other times by arrangement upon application can generally be accommodated.
