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.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for that, i think the club in sutherland seems an excellent option for me due to proximity. according to their website, they have several open nights annually. however, the closest upcoming one does not take place until the end of Aug
. since I'll have to cope with several exams in late june, i'm considering to give it a burl after that. BTW do you know any other clubs with public open nights in July, preferably?
Regards
