Could be discussed at the morning tea. It maybe getting 'less dark', based on comments from long time attendees, due to Sydney and Central Coast growth and light pollution. On my trip there last July, with a good turn out I might add, there was noticable skyglow to the south and west, and really only the north seemed dark. There was a discussion a couple of years back about finding another potential site, possibly in the Watagan National Park west of Morisset. I checked our a few sites up there, but they were camp site type places with trees crowding the clearing. It is dark though, with only a bit of glow from the Newcastle direction. If we could find the right spot it would be very nice, but of course further to travel for many people, but camping over-night might negate that concern for a weekend type trip.
