The astronomical society here used to be very active until about 12 years ago. I used to be a member then but discontinued due to other commitments. I tried to rejoin for the last year - unsuccessfully - my communication reached them, but there was no response.
Alice Springs is a great place for astronomy even though lately we had problems with smoke from bush fires. I would love for interested people to get together again. The old fashioned club model seems to struggle though everywhere (legal organisatorial requirements, insurance etc). Maybe a loosely organized group based on email contacts, facebook or similar might work today. Anyone with ideas out there?
