I attended with my two sons...
It is always great to see the observatory!
There was a bigger crowd then I expected and this contributed to a little disappointment on my part (we had to share the scopes) for the evening although the weather was quite nice.
Limited parking in the area made for a bit of a hike to get there along with my general concerns with street side parking at night in Sydney (keeping in mind that the meters run until 10 pm).
Most of the people in attendence had little experience with Astronomy as was clear by the number and types of questions asked (Where do I look? etc.) so it was a good outreach opportunity.
Anyway, I hope the event is deemed a success!
