While this is not a club or society as such
http://www.mapletonss.qld.edu.au/observatory/indexpage.htm
is a comunity based Observatory at the Mapleton Primary School on the Sunshine Coast. If anyone is ever coming up this way PM me and we'll organize a tour if it doesn't coincide with a public open night.
Built through a grant from the Qld gaming commission (at least some of the money they collect is finding its way back into the community) and a lot of cake stalls. An excellent effort by all involved.
BTW were trying to organise a Star Party/Astrofest for June/July, so if anyone has any ideas about how to go about organising one of these I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers
Paul
