Fibreglass Dome available at Warwick

[hotspur]

A dingo trapper from down Warwick way called me today,his neighbour has a fibreglass dome observatory,he was going to cut up and make a cubby for kids.But my trapper friend thought some astronomers could use it,and told him to wait.

So he gave me contact details-Don Brown ph 07 46648240 the owner might want a $100 or so for it.Not sure on size details.

But it might suit someone at Leyburn,its not too far away.Hope this might help someone here.

Cheers Chris

Been trying to get hold of Don all day... no luck :(

EDIT: Actually I just got hold of him, I'm inspecting on Saturday morning :D Fingers crossed.

I also spoke with Don, and he mentioned someone was taking a look this weekend. Dave if you could take and share some pics that would be fantastic. From what I can gather its a Concrete Water Tank structure with a Fiberglass home made dome on top. If it is as described then this would be to heavy for transport with the tank. I just wonder if the fiberglass dome could be salvaged and reused on a different structure.

Sorry guys, the location I was going to use for this dome has fallen through so I can no longer acquire this dome as I have nowhere for it. :(

I hope someone here can make use of it!

I haven't been able to get through to Don yet to let him know but I've left a message.

Dave.
