Moogera dam is good

Hi Frank. I took a drive one night to get a feel for reasonably close and darker sites, but not necessarily the darkest sites. Once you get west or south of Ipswich things improve. I live slightly west of Ipswich and in my experience, out Laidley way (going out towards Mulgowie) can be pretty good. I've also been to Moogerah Dam (on a Astro society BBQ night) and it too was very good. Going up the Brisbane Valley Hwy and out past Fernvale will likely be good to ... especially near Esk / Somerset Dam. The Scenic Rim Astronomy Ass dark site near Beaudesert was great too! Alex
