I have already looked into visiting Sydney Observatory while there but am wondering is there organised observing nights anywhere not too far from Sydney that I might be able to get to? I would love the opportunity to get away from the city for 1 or 2 nights and see some dark southern hemisphere skies. Any suggestions or feedback greatly appreciated. I may be able to borrow a friend's car or even hire one for a couple of days.
Thanks,

Hi Bernadette,
Keep in contact, as I am sure we can organise something(s) for you.
There will no doubt be the normal observing sessions around New Moon weekend(s) at Katoomba and Mangrove Mountain (aka Pony Club).
And possibly a chance of a short camping trip a few hours north of here to our very dark site (Bretti).
