OOO, I believe that all states have a town named Richmond. Whether or not any other town names share such privilege I know not.
I'm assuming (possibly on shaky foundations) that Mike did indeed make reference to one of the five towns of the Macquarie region of NSW. The clue, of course, was his reference to 'The Base' which I'm guessing refers to RAAF Richmond.
Some twenty or twenty-five years ago I attended the observatory mentioned expecting to be able to 'have a look around'. My wife and two children were with me at the time which made things a wee bit more embarrassing. There was no one there as far as we could see and then, fortuitously, a rather dapper gentleman exited one of the buildings doors and informed us, politely but sternly, that the estate was private property. We, me as red faced as a lobster, beat a hasty retreat.
Perhaps things have changed?
