Thanks everyone. My lovely wife and I are going to spend the day driving in the country in airconditioned comfort looking at possible new homes with dark skies :D
Have a very Happy Birthday guys.

Good luck Paul, hope you find a new place with dark skies.

Paul just reverse the numbers and you'd be the same age as me.
Have a great day with Sya:thumbsup: Ron

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!
I was thinking of everyone up at IISAC while naked eye observing McNaught (I even wore my Ice In Space T-shirt). I will definitely be there for the next camp at Lostock.
Unfortunately, I haven't been as active on IIS as I'd like ,due to work and family commitments, but hopefully that will change in the next few months.
Best regards to all my IIS friends!
Adam.

Happy Birthday guys,
Paul that would be a great birthday present...new house with dark skies.

We've found a few likely sites. One is only 200 meters up the road from Astroron's. I don't know how Sya will deal with that :lol: Fortunately for her its our third choice atm so is likely to end up a long way down the list by the time we've finished looking around. The hardest part will be getting used to driving 40+ kms to work each day, where now I drive about 2 kms.
Plenty of looking to do yet, and we still have to sell out current house. Could be a while before anything definite happens.
Unless some generous sponsor out there would care to donate around $450,000 to a worthy cause. :D

Paul, Happy Birthday.
40Kms is only about 25 mins drive at 100kph.
look for a property with about 1,000 acres, that way you will definately be away from city lights.
Then you can have us all round for viewing nights. LOL
Happy Birthday Adam.
Celebrate with sausages.
Mike.

I know you have been looking to do this for some time Paul.
I am in a similar vote.
We are looking to move out to Jimboomba which is not a really dark site but better then Tingalpa Brisbane....I will have around 1 hours drive to work with only a 5 minute drive ATM.
Decision decissions...I could just stay here.

It'll be a bit longer than 25 min Mike. These roads are definately NOT 100 k/h roads. 40 min if I take the short way and about 40 min if I take the safe way :lol:

:hi: Paul, I don't know how I should take that sentence,One is only 200 meters up the road from Astroron's. I don't know how Sya will deal with that ;) .
Did you call in?:thumbsup: Astroron

:lol: She feels when I get into astro mode she becomes a bit of a telescope widow. That's ok in moderation, but living just up the road could make it worse :lol:
We didn't call in, I didn't see your car anywhere so we kept on going.

Happy birthday guys - congratulations on surviving another year, and best wishes for the year ahead!
:party2:
I hope your day prospecting for a new dark abode went well Paul.
I must admit I noticed a few months ago how many properties were for sale back along the "scenic road" on the way home from Ron's place, I entertained a few thoughts briefly ......
I don't know how Ron might take too many new neighbours in the area either, maybe that's the question we should be asking?
;) What do you reckon Ron?
Cheers again Adam, & Cheers again Paul.
