Odille,
Rather belatedly, I want to say thanks for taking the time to reply with your selection of Astronomy sites and observatories in or near Adelaide
. I did have a look on the Internet but it seems that any that have public events in January, have these days after Jan 6th when I leave Australia rto eeturn home to the UK. I've bought an apallingly cheap Tasco refractor from Cash Convertors but I can't see a thing with it (a) because it's a piece of optical tat and (b) because I'm hopelessly dependent on my Celestron GoTo. And, by way of a coda, no one explained to me that mosquitoes seem to hand around waiting for amateur astronomers. I was mauled and will be going home with a crop of inflamed bites. I'm beginning to think that astronomy is more of a dangerous sport than a hobby in suburban Adelaide.
All the best,
Gerrymac
