Depends on what you mean by wifi. If you mean is there a wifi netwoprk that you can log on your computer controlled telescope and your computer set up in the dining hall so you can image and process in the comfort of a well lit room then the answer is "Yes". This network was open to all last year, and I believe that it will be set up again.

If you mean (and I think you do) is there wifi internet there hearty laugh and a resounding "No.

There is no mobile coverage unless you unfurl a largish base antenna, and by which you might part with an arm, a leg, and your first born to the coffers of Telstra and BigPond for a dodgey internet connection.

There were rumors that there was going to be a mobile tower built at Moore (where you can currently get mobile coverage) which would have had a footprint close to covering the camp.

Depressed? Don't be... if we have fine weather we won't have time to surf at night, and we sleep all day. If it is cloudy there is more computing happening in the dining hall than at a WOW convention.
