Hi Ed
We started a small Facebook group called Southern Highlands Star Gazers, thinking we may get 8 or 10 people. The closed group now has a membership of nearly 80 varying from amateurs with decades of experience through to people who don't own a telescope or binoculars.
We get together normally on the 3rd quarter and new moon weekends but we have also tried a lunar viewing night. The weather has conspired against us so far but we'll get there. Our group has only been running since just before Xmas last year. We have a site that is semi dark with plans in the future to source somewhere darker.
The Southern Highlands is an area around 2 hours drive South of Sydney, enroute to Canberra, and its main towns are Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale plus there are also a number of smaller villages like Robertson (where I live) and Berrima.
If you come to Australia feel free to look us up.
