Sorry you didn't.
It was pretty good viewing.
And a great spot.
Plenty of Room.
Camping allowed up to 3 days.
Nice and dark.
AND flushing toilets (luxury compared to the Pony Club).

I will be going back on a regular basis.
Only just over an hour (about 100k).

[Inmykombi]

Sounds good. keep me posted ( no punn intended there ) and I'll see if I can get away for a quick star fix.

:P

[Arthur Alchin]

will need to look at this spot allan, good spot to pitch the tent? and also is there some water supply nearby for filling the solar shower?

Might have to go with the trailer on your next adventure there, probably won't need 4 days

[Allan_L]

...could be as early as this Friday...weather permitting.
Then swing on over to Mangrove Mtn for some social viewing.
worked well last week. :)

...and yes Arthur, this place is a tent pitcher's heaven...:fishing::campfire::gday:

[Arthur Alchin]

[Inmykombi]

Thx for the info Allan,
How is the horizon for observing ?

Well, no horizon.
But a few good clear patches.
I have sussed out the best I think.
This Friday is still a possible if weather holds.
