Maybe we need to create a density map of astronomers in Melbourne and we'd be surprised at how close we were to each other and arrange monthly or quarterly casual events
I'm all for it
Alistair, there already is a group of Sidewalk Astronomers in Melbourne, but they need more people to help achieve their goals of doing Sidewalk Astronomy.
