As per Usual, on my 3rd trip there, the skies have been crystal clear for all 4 days and nights.

Infact I DID NOT SEE A SINGLE CLOUD for the ENTIRE TIME!!!!1

NOT ONE SINGLE SPECK OF CLOUD FOR 4 STRAIGHT DAYS AND NIGHTS! And not to mention it's WARM!!!! I was out in shirt and shorts until atleast midnight each night.

As we drove back towards Melbourne, the cloud began to thicken

I took the 4.5" reflector, did some observations and will be posting my report soon. The skies are extremely dark. We hired a houseboat and took that about 50km upstream, unbelievable skies.

Unfortunately, I am now back in cold and cloudy Melbourne Looking at the weather obs, some very pathetic cold days here during my stay up north, but there it was 35-38 each day and still around 24-25 at midnight.

Only problem is the bugs and mozzies....holy crap you've never seen an insect plague like this!!!

I now hate Melbourne's perpetual nuclear winter, never ending clouds and pathetic lacklusture summers with even more raw unalderated passion
