Hi Rod,
Indeed it was you of whom I was thinking and now you mention the mysterious
price doubling, that specific detail has now jolted my memory because we spoke
of it at length. But it is a great 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.

I guess my description of it would be more of a getaway for someone seeking
something a little different. It is a little eclectic and very private. I enjoyed
staying there and living by candlelight is a good change of pace.
But from an observing perspective, not as convenient as The Mountains Motel or the Timor Cottages.
Peu de temps à la France.
