Hi Michael

Laurie is right, SASI do have a site at Waterfall on the edge of the Royal National Park. The observatory is also open on Saturday nights of new moon and third quarter. I'm not 100% sure of what the visitor policy is so it may pay to check on both fronts.

We also have three annual star parties, one at Mudgee Observatory which starts the weekend after Easter. There is a new one at Grattai, 15 minutes from Mudgee, in June and another one is held at Wooton, on the mid North Coast near Bulladelah/Taree, around the time of the September/October school holidays. All three are run by members opening their properties up to other members and run for 8 or 9 nights.

Until recently there was also a dark site at Bargo (Southern Highlands) but I believe there are access issues at that site at present.

It is a very friendly society, as they all are, and well worth the visit.

Wayne
