The other is an abandoned coal mine site of the Darling Causeway between Bell & Mt Victoria, closer to Bell. Road access is better at the old mine, & though closer to the road, jack all cars use the Darling Causeway especially at night. Big open field too. Either site is also less impacted by Katooma's lights."
Unsure if you and others want to try a change of scenery for this one? The old mine sounds interesting, especially considering Alex says its a big open field.
Anyway, thought I would just put that out there if anyone is up for something different. Hopefully Alex will chime in and provide some more info on these sites.
That said, I'm happy anywhere, really need some dark sky time, looking forward to catching up with everyone after missing the last one.
Cheers,
Jase

You know what. Lat's check out the mine. Got the exact address, location / GPS coordinates?
