I would love my wife to agree to something like this, although 100km might be a bit too far even for me to travel each day but Perth is pretty big so 100k's is about what would be good for astronomy..?...and yep that's all that really counts, the astronomy!!!  Perhaps have it as a comfortably positioned dark sky outpost for weekends would be good too?
What sort of observatory are you planning?...go on, make me more depressed

Hi Mike
The property has a two storey, two bedroom one bathroom dwelling on it and is actually going to be my home. It's set on five acres with only a few trees and is around 250 metres altitude above the valley in the distance.
I have a basic idea for a treated timber frame and cbond steel roll off roof structure with 1.2 metre walls to make the most of the 360 degree views and probably an integrated warm room. It will be some time before that comes to fruition so I'm taking my existing roll off roof shed/obs up there as a temp setup.
I hope all that hasn't made you too depessed mate !
