Arkaroola, North Flinders Ranges

[lacad01]

Arkaroola is a wilderness sanctuary in the Northern Flinders Ranges. Took this shot on one of the walking tracks. The clear sky is indicative of the many clear nights enjoyed there :)

Looks like a beautiful place. Would love to go one day.

That looks like a great place! :thumbsup: Forgot what a blue sky looks like. Not a hint of white wisp. Why? oh...wait! It's all here in Sydney. None left for SA. :lol:

Thanks guys. If you ever get the chance it is well worth the effort to get there. Once you get over the dust and heat that is ;)
Thanks Eric, I was lucky to get some observing in one of their 14" SCT's
(http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=52075). Apparently their binocular "star chairs" have been nothing but trouble and are constantly breaking down :(

Look at the mean clear days graph. Are all you Melburnians planning on moving to Arkaroola?
