I also hope Koolang continues to operate under new management, I found it was a good venue for introducing people to astronomy basics, many years ago Michael and the crew inspired me to spend more time out observing the night sky, I was motivated to sell the 4 inch Newtonian I was using at that time and upgrade to an 8 inch Meade LX200 and what a difference that made I was now totally hooked on astronomy, after a few years I sold the LX200 to one of the Koolang crew and eventually upgraded to a 12 inch LX200. I sometimes wonder what if Koolang was not there all those years ago when I needed a motivational boost to continue in astronomy.
Koolang has the potential to be so much more with a bit of funding and good management, I hope it all works out well for Michael.
