Thanks a lot Martin!

I went to Wiruna hoping it would be opnen but it was closed on the Thu. So stuck I gave Mudgee Obs a ring and John was more than obliging. I consider the trip successful even just meeting John! He showed me a picture he took in 1989 on Kodak film of the Aurora Australis from Mt Kosciusko!!!! A true legend.
