Ice in Space was a shock to me. Having only recently renewed an active interest in looking skyward, I was feeling a little odd at my mature age. So looking for help in the bookshop, I was surprised to read about the internationally recognised web site which had originated from a Central Coast local.

Impressed!

Without delay, logging on to the web address I was further amazed by the quality and volume of information available to people such as I.

I read with interest numerous stories such as mine. And the education path of members who now had experience, having been in my position not so long ago.

Finally taking the plunge to attend a dark sky event at Mangrove Mountain, I was so relieved to find a large group of faithfuls who were more interested in helping me to find my feet than they were in their own personal observations.

I owe so much to a bunch of dedicated guys (especially Geoff! - just to name a few!!!)

Although, I must admit my financial wealth would probably be a whole lot healthier had I not encountered Ice In Space.
That is nothing compared to the wonderful wealth of friendships I have found. And the amazing universe I have only just started to appreciate.

Thanks Mike.
