Hi Matt. Seems to be picking up again after a couple of lousy years. We get a lot more clear sky than Melbourne being north of the Divide. It's a sheltered place so never much in the way of wind - sky transparency is awesome but the seeing is chronically poor, no good for planetary people.
I don't think I could put it in terms of nights/week or month!
If you're ever up this way when we have the club observing nights at Porepunkah airfield, come along and introduce yourself! We're only a small group and pretty laid back. The club has an 8" dob which anyone is welcome to use. Dates are posted here (still showing our Oct meet, Nov yet to be determined):
