My wife and I dropped by yesterday Thursday 14 May at about 5pm.
We had no problem at all using Google Map on mobile line to find Wiruna Lot 7. We have two different car gps that could get us to Old Ilford Road but not Lot 7. Finding the house no. is easy because we could see many cars and camper from a distance. There were already about a hundred people on site, as I checked at the registration desk.
Lesa was really nice to help us register properly, as we had previously pre-registered on 1 Apr but the online booking system could not accept our entry because we are from Singapore but the registration sustem did not recognise Singapore as a single State.
We took some quick looks through the scopes. A nice guy called John somehow recognised me by name in the dark. He showed us some fabulous views of Tarantula Nebula, Eta Carinae Nebula, Omega Centauri and the Leo Triplet galaxies through his 18" SDM dob. I would have been really happy to hang there all night but my wife reminded me that we got to drive back to Blackheath, 1.5hrs drive away.
We will be back to stay for Friday to Sunday.
