Hi Roger,
Yes, I am passionate about Perth Observatory, as it has had a profound influence on my life. Without Perth Observatory, and Dr Nikolov in particular, I may never have found my passion, as I was too stupid, as a kid, to realise that I had one.
There are things we can do to influence Government but it requires a commitment, which, sadly, many are not willing to make that commitment. Had I not made that commitment in the 80's I may never had had the opportunity to do professional work.
I have a number of ideas floating around in my mind and if handled correctly we could find benefits in fighting for retention of Perth Observatory. However, the fight this time isn't about research but outreach.
I am fighting, in my own way, but to really win we need numbers.
Cheers Peter
