I wonder how they are using the place now, in view of covid etc. My guess is that it’s in mothballs for the duration.

Irrespective of whether anything is possible until everyone is vaccinated or not I'm keen to find out about the place because it would be fantastic to find another dark site in Queensland that also has facilities at a reasonable cost. There are plenty of options if you want to pay $120+ for a hotel room but that makes for a very expensive week of astronomy.
The Warrumbungle Mountain Motel in NSW is a fantastic place to go but I'm sure there are great places far closer and in QLD.
I'm keen to take the new SDM 28" out for a drive and will find somewhere this winter for me at least. Whether or not it is practical for a group of people I can't say and it may be too difficult.
