Hi Guys, Mt Carbine Caravan Park seems a useful base for viewing locations along the Mulligan Hwy. The proprietor spoke briefly on the phone about sites on the eastern side of the road where local roads cross the ranges. I've been using Google Earth a lot and have written to Maitland Downs Station asking for permission to view from a rocky (granite ? ) hiiltop on the Western side , approx 144 deg 34min / 16 deg 15 min South. Anybody else considering this " drier, inland " region? I live near Coonabarabran. First heard of Icein Space from another visitor at the Siding Spring Open Day 2009. Back in 2002, we used an inland back road successfully. Didn't want to be with crowds at the " recommended popular site on the beach at Ceduna " Likewise this time. BTW in July 2028 there's a total eclipse coming through Gulargambone. Maybe I won't have to travel for that one.
