Congratulations Ponders

Our mild mannered Mod has been receiving some media attention too of late.
Firstly, an interview that will be published in the next edition of "Salt" magazine. And tomorrow, I believe there will be a television crew meeting him at Mapleton Observatory to do a story on kids and Astronomy.

Congratulations Paul, for all the work and time you've put into this hobby, it's well deserved.

There are no secrets around this place

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to the Salt article in particular, its a promotional mag for the Sunshine Coast looking at places to visit and things to do. Very schmick.

I'm not sure what the TV crew want to do this arvo, but I understand it for a program called Discover Downunder.

Not having TV connectivity I have no idea what its about. I thought it was like a Simon Townsend Wonder World thing (how long have I been out of the loop

) but checking on the Net seems to lead to a Caravaning lifestyle program. Maybe one for you and Anna to check out John.

I'll be catching up with you soon h0ughy

Thanks folks, it was fun tonight. The two interviewers were Brooke Hanson and Tim Smith the commedian, who is very switched on when it comes to astronomy. But it wasn't all about me.

but about the Mapleton School and Community Observatory. There were also kids from the Schools Cosmic Kids Club.

Tim was in his element.

The kids had a hoot
