Also the cost per night is getting too much for some as well as the trees are continuing to grow and growing light pollution issues as well. All not good.
Some where like Boondooma with a very low horizon albeit a few hours drive for Bris would be great with Genuine B1 skies!!!
That's my 2 cents worth!. This coming Sunday to Wednesday looks like clear skies. Hope the river has dropped for those wanting to get in and out for that matter. Cheers
Hi Wes,

There have been issues with van space for a number of years. Before about 2017 Lions Camp Duckadang was not rated for vans and we just allocated spaces as we saw fit. The Council has placed limits on the spaces, and that is what we have to work with. Previously we had live availability updates on our website and people realised they needed to book to get a spot. We currently don't have that capability, and the last Astrofest sufficiently long ago that we have forgotten the limitations.
