Cool!

The Iceinspace community in Perth is not huge. Normally maybe a dozen people rock up to these nights and we don't really require much infrastructure. Access to toilets is always nice, but that's about it.

If you want to organise this I'll come over with either my wife or a friend (who is much more into astronomy than my wife!) and will bring a couple of telescopes. I have an 8" Dob and an 80mm refractor on a parallelogram mount. Nothing fancy, but there are some pretty big telescopes which sometimes appear at these.

Just organise it for a weekend near a new moon, and be ready to cancel the thing at relatively short notice if the weather is unsuitable. No point hosting a star party if there are clouds!
