Hi there. I have had a couple of years off darksky observing and now want to get back into regular trips away at the new moon. I used to go to Leyburn up on the range but aside from the camaraderie it was a waste of an extra 1-1/2 hours driving since I don't photograph. I am a southsider and was thinking of going up the brisbane valley to say Atkinsons Dam and looking for a good horizon. Or perhaps up the warrago hwy to Moogerah Dam near Aratula.I thought a dam would be a good idea as it would have big cleared areas and some nice grass to set up on, toilets etc. I camp out overnight in a poptop, though hopefully will observe all night then sleep over the morning. Any ideas or spots south of brisbane within way 1-1/2h drive would be appreciated.Frank.
