I hope all the little conservation parks dotted elsewhere around this great land arent like the ones we have investigated in SA.
They seem to be the spots that the early farmer/settlers couldnt easily use - ie too rocky and/or swampy, which isnt ideal for astronomy due to the immediate local microclimates these two features sometimes produce, specially in summer imo. And as some said - the obscuring treelines are bad too.
So in our very sporadic road trips we tend to go for random sneaky guerilla trips to outer remote farm land/paddocks - we dont leave anything but tripod prints anywayz, so no damage, and the farmers are asleep and none the wiser. We would almost never go to the same place twice, so its not a problem.
