I am thinking of bringing my C-90 along for the trip (if it is not too much of a hassle with the airlines) but I am not sure yet. I do definitely plan on bringing my camera gear and binoculars though. Another thought that I had was that maybe I could rent a telescope for a week or two while I am in the country? Not sure on that one yet. I have already got some great tips from the cloudynights forum at the following thread:

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Welcome Joe
Don't worry about bringing a scope, there are a lot of nice folk here in Brisbane and Australia that will lend you a good Mak-Cas Go-to or what ever you need.
cheers.
