Hi John

There are two clubs in the Wollongong area , The Illawarra Astronomical Society and the Wollongong Amateur Astronomical Club, of which I'm a member. Dave Wheeler ( Astraltraveler on this forum ) is a member of the I.A.S. so I'll let him speak for them though I'm sure they would be happy to help you. Some members of the I.A.S. visited our semi dark sky site the last new moon Sat. for an observing session, the site is not far from Kiama, on the road to Jamberoo and has some basic facilities such as toilets and picnic tables and a lockable gate to keep out unwanted visitors ( hoons ) the possums and wombats are free to roam.
We, the Waacers, use the site most dark of the moon Saturday nights for our club sessions and you're most welcome to visit and join us for some observing.
PM me or check out our Yahoo Users Group site if you would like more info.

Kind Regards

Jeff
