Spare a thought for Linden Observatory halfway between Springwood and Hazelbrook on the Great Western Highway in the Blue Mountains.

Built by Ken Beames in the 1940's, run by a Trust to support and advance public Astronomy ... now facing the Gospers Mountain blaze.

Very sad - WSAAG members went up there to remove club property ahead of the fire. As yet, no word on when the Gospers Mountain fire will reach the town of Linden, and the Observatory, but it is pretty well in the line of fire.

Regards,
Tony Barry
