Last time I went to Sydney Obs was back in 1995. Haven't really had an opportunity to go back there. I somehow doubt the experience I get going to a public observatory is really the same as that of a regular member of the public going through the same place.

That said, there are several people here have spent quite some time working in public observatories and we tend to be saying the same things.
