We had some other sites as potentials, including Koolang Observatory which had some good "pros", including:
- Proximity to Central Coast/Sydney/Newcastle
- Display centre/hall for public talks, etc.
- Toilets, Power
- Exclusive use (don't have to worry about other campers)
But we ruled it out for the following reasons:
1) Lack of space for observing fields. It would just be too cramped.
2) Lack of camping ground - there's ok space but it would be pretty tight and lots of ants around
3) Lack of showers - it is cost prohibitive to hire some.
4) Can't park near tent or scope (parking area is separate)
So it was ruled out, unfortunately.
But please, have a look at the pictures and pros/cons of the sites above, and reply with your feedback and use the poll so we can gauge preference and interest.
If you've got some other ideas or somethign we've forgotten, please let us know!
