A friend and I were discussing hitting the road for one of the next new moons in an effort to get away from the steady onshore moisture and cloud in SE Qld over the last 6-12 months. Last year was a tough one for me to get away, but I think May was the last unfettered extended astro fix I've had - suffering serious withdrawal
An ideal location would be west of the great dividing range, within 5-6 hrs drive of Brissy, away from bright towns or street lights, access to 240V power, place to camp (or inexpensive cabin etc), relatively private (there's only so much you can show someone when you have a CCD camera hanging out of the scope).
We were rough out a plan to go north west (in Roma direction) and plan to go SW (Inverell direction) so we could make a final decision a few days out as the latest weather reports rolled in. Does anyone have any suggestions re above?
I was wondering about the Jondaryan Woolshed out to W of Toowoomba as a possibility?
Thought about caravan parks, but its hard to know if you'll be annoying other people at 2am or have toilet block/road lights until its dark often. This would be a long weekend, so expecting to spend a couple of nights whereever we might end up.
