Hi,
I would like to spend a weekend out of Melbourne under some dark skies; however due to the people and ages (very young and quite elderly) coming with me, camping is out of the question and I need somewhere with reasonably comfortable accomodation.
I was looking at Creswick where there is a hotel , but while I'm happy to compromise on light to get somewhere to stay, between ballarat and bendigo it's probably a little too light there. Any suggestions within about two hours' drive?
thanks
Mark
