I highly recommend the camping areas at Wee Jasper (45 mins drive south of Yass, or about 1 hr 10 mins from Canberra), especially the Micalong Reserve. The ranger is very supportive of astronomers, and will usually let you turn the toilet block lights off, and have access to power. At only $7.50 per adult per night, fantastic! The skies are very dark, comparable to Lostock, although not quite up to the standards of Coonabarabran. There is a swimming hole and bush walks during the daytime, and even limestone caves to visit!
