On a lighter note:
If anyone is interested in this informal gathering at Phil's DarkSky site please let us know. With only 3 weeks to go it might be best to have everyone make their own arrangements for accommodation etc.
All that is required is to bring yourselves, your scopes, a good attitude, a camping chair and maybe a bottle of red..... we will have tea and coffee facilities as before.
The kangaroos have taken care of the metre high grass and the new access track that was pioneered by the Mercedes Sprinter is in good condition. I even spent an hour removing most of the boulders off the track.
Bathroom facilities will likely consist of a couple of gumtrees and a PortaPotti in a tent.... unless 50 people decide to come along then we can all kick in for the hire of the PortaTrailerLoo ($240 for the weekend)...
Daytime activities include sleeping, eating, lazing about or for those keen enough, a visit to Mount Stromlo or Tidbinbilla Tracking Station....
