Dark Sky Sites!

Headed out today to look at some sites I earmarked on Google Earth well before I moved here. Headed north from Renmark up one of the crappiest dirt roads in history. You know, I could forgive the washboard catastrophe, I could forgive all that, if it wasn't for all the damn potholes Drove about 150km of this today lol! Headed right up past the SA/NSW border through Chowilla, but turned around after a few k's as there was too much scrub blocking the horizons. Turned back, turned onto the track heading towards the Dangalli Conservation park, right into the desert as on Google maps there appeard to be a few good clear areas up that way, but turned around after the "road" was becoming too soft and parts of it washed away. Almost got stuck in the sand while doing my 3-pointer...

This site here is 20km straight line distance to town so should be pretty dark!
