You are nothing if not detailed, Gary!

The Timor Country Cottages story sounds familiar......if you are thinking of me, then my experience was that the price was mysteriously doubled from about $600 to about $1200 after I had secured the booking many months previously for a set price. I was very unhappy....and opted to cancel and go to Wee Jasper instead. My theory is that a cashed up Yankee may have shown interest, and I was effectively gazumped. A shame, it is a superb spot.

Another place to stay in Coona is Craggibungle, which is another few kms up the Timor Road towards the National Park beyond Timor Country Cottages. It is a mud hut, no electricity, and is not well situated for observing in that the hut is set amongst trees. However, you can set up down the hill, about 150m from the house, and get wonderful views of the northern sky.
