Just an update on this Coonabarabran thread.
As reported on 30 Oct 2011, the Warrumbungles Mountain Motel changed hands.
We had a group of about 19 stay there at the end of Feb 2012, including twelve
visiting US amateurs and I am pleased to report that the new owners are also
attentive to the needs of amateur astronomers, so the motel still forms a good base
for observing enthusiasts seeking dark sky accommodation in the area.
I also note that the Skywatch Observatory tourist attraction just on the outskirts
of town is for sale. Listing here -
