Hi Pete,
As Marc suggested, the Warrumbungles Mountain Motel is ideal and we use it at least
once a year to help host observers visiting from the northern hemisphere.
15 minutes out of town, the motel has expansive grounds which the backdoors of
each room open up to. This makes it ideal for setting up a scope and it is then
a short walk back to your room for coffee.
Talk to the owners about your requirements as they appreciate the needs of
amateur astronomers. They will recommend somewhere to set up.
Take care traversing the Timor Road from town to and from the motel particularly
at dusk, night time and dawn. Traversing the road at any time day or night to
and from the Park requires additional vigilance. Wildlife can be prolific and accidents
have resulted in driver fatalities along this stretch.
Enjoy!
