We had a great time in Coona, too. Was great to see Mike (Okiscopey) and Ron (Astroron) there. I did not know about this thread before heading to Coona, wish I had known to look out for Outbackmanyep too! Sorry we didn't see you there, Chris - we were looking out for you, but we arrived late Monday afternoon, so we were probably too late to see you.
I took my three kids. They were a tad bored with the exoplanet discussion, but found Okiscopey's antics more than made up for it! Thanks for your attention to them Mike - was also great just to sit with someone for the night and have some decent conversation. Having been in a mudbrick hut without power all week with three kids, I was ready to talk to an adult.
I thoroughly recommend Coona's dark skies from an observing point of view. I had a succession of crystal clear nights, and at times had to pinch myself to believe what I was seeing through the Mary Rose. I hope to post some observing notes in the coming weeks.
