I've just moved (12 months ago) from Melb to Brisbane and I'm looking for an observing site close to the Brisbane CBD ie that is within 40-60 mins travelling time from the city. I've seen all the mag 3 stars I'm interested in up here and I have been spoilt by my old site down in Ocean Grove. I have been out to the Leyburn site past Tawoomba and had a great session there. The views through a 20" dob are still with me, but it took 2 1/2 hrs to get there. So I'm looking for something under 5 hr travelling time round trip as its too exhausting. I'm interested in a dark site or reasonably so, so that I can do some DSLR and CCD imaging.
If there is anyone out there that knows of a REASONABLY accessed site close to Brisbane that attacts other like minded individuals, could you please contact me.
Regards,
Allan
