Question Who is protecting your night skies?

Coona and Gilgandra are about 4.5 to 5 hours from Sydney and the same from the Central Coast. (I'm sounding like a travel agent) but it is a great place out here.
Having clear dark skies is the greatest asset any Astronomer can have.
What has been done in your area to make the night sky better !
If we encourage & support councils who promote good outdoor lighting, we can only make things better for all of us.
