If thinking of the Warrumbungles, if you have the time there's a better trip:
1. Parks, for the radio telescope;
2. Visit the AAO at Siding Spring, stay overnight there and fit in some stargazing with the locals.
3. Then on to the Australia Telescope near Narrabri and then up to the campsite at Dawsons Spring on top of Mt Kaputar. Great campsite at 1400+ metres with permanent water, power, hot showers and campsites set in a forest of tall trees, great for stargazing and in summer its a very pleasant temperature. Lots of walks and things to do. Native animals visit the campsite which will amuse kids.
