Hi All,

For any that may be holidaying or passing through the far west of NSW.
I will be conducting an observing night in conjunction with NSW National Parks as part of the International Year of Astronomy celebrations at Kinchega National Park at Menindee.

This will be the evening of July 24th at Kinchega, I will use my 12" Lightbridge and there will also be a talk given by a local aboriginal elder on their perspectives of the night sky.

I have attached a link to further info on this event that is on the NSW National Parks website.
