Sites...

Hi Lance - wasn't going to add anything to this thread 'cos of all the fellas giving you plenty of two-bob's (20cents) worth; but if only to let you know about places that seem to have missed the radar, South Australia has many fine sites to list.

One of the benefits of SA is that it is the most sparesly populated places (after WA and NT) but doesn't quite suffer from the vast isolation in many of the places in the other 2 areas: great you may say but I'd imagine logistics would have to be a consideration somewhere along the equation.

Here in SA there are many places that have loads of sunshine but more importantly clear black night skies where the stars literally "reach down to touch your face": from real outback environments to areas closer to facilities, but without the population build-ups nearby, as in particularly the Eastern States.

SA (the driest state in the driest continent as they say) has loads of low/negligible populated areas that aren't too remote: the upper Murray region including the Murray Mallee, the Mid and Upper North, Flinders Ranges areas and of course SA's west coast. I speak first-hand from long association with "country" in these places.

Enough from me, nukkan ya, Kokatha man.
