I live on a farm in Gingin and would like to invite Iceinspace members over for a star party on the night of Saturday 18th of July (two days after the new moon).
We have open paddocks with good views and minimal light pollution. I'm just getting into the hobby and would love to meet some of my fellow skygazers and have a look through some good telescopes!
Please private message me to RSVP and for the address.
In the event that the weather is bad, I'll call the event off and let you know via this thread!
We have a BBQ available. Be sure to bring warm clothing too its hell freezing out these parts at night. Bathrooms on site will be available
I would love t come as well but sadly we have made other plans for that night , the weather looks like it will be great ,,, next time for sure Sara .

Have you had any interest? If I can steal the work car that night I'd love to come up, but it might be awkward if its just us. I only have a ****ty telescope we could look through.
Ben that would be awesome to bring your 10' Scope and eyepieces it would be something new for me too look through as I only have a 6" im using which is cool still. Sam there are 4-5 people coming plus my uncle and my aunt will be on the property with me as they are excited at the opportunity to meet new people and host them on the property. As for the weather forecast for the 18th it could look a bit dicey but I will keep people up to date and announce cancellation at midday on the 18th. Please private message me for location and details
Hi Sarah,
I'm flying out Friday night, but would definitely bring my scope along if you decide to do this again. Not a bad spot light pollution wise!
Cheers,
Andrew.

Thank you for replying to My Star-party event. I will definitely run another one as this one is a first time event. Light pollution is not a problem here and its my uncle and aunties farm who supports my passion. A large shed is available to with a BBQ away from the designated area portable toilets are available on site.
In the distances are only 2 big sheds and white sand patches. This is the area that has been put aside for viewing events. The large shed is behind me and Toilets will be to the left of the photo
Thank you to everyone who have shown interest in joining us on my first Starparty. Due to the weather closing in on us this weekend I am having to shift the date to the 15th August 2015. (Weather Permitting of course) Please mark this date on your calendar. If you are interested in joining us please let us know and I can send you location and added information. For those who have replied already I have forward directions map and housekeeping information to your guys already. I would like to thank Mokusatsu for his encouragement in putting on a starparty and his guidance and advice. also Brax for pointing out finer details needed when hosting guests on the farm and Scott for investing his time and effort in getting me to the point of getting more involved in my passion. Thanks to my Uncle and Aunty for allowing us free access to the property and facilities. Also Thanks to Iceinspace for providing the platform for such an exciting gathering.
PS Don't mind our 3 cats they are just nosy and want to know who is visiting their backyard .

I'm interested in the night on the 15th, however at this point I'm not 100% sure that I can make it as I will be in the process of moving house. I can let you know closer to the date. I will definitely be interested in any future nights that may occur

Thank you for replying. It would be great to see you there weather permitting. Inbox me when you are sure you wish to join us and ill send you details
I have looked at the forecast for next weekend and it looks awesome. So the Star Party is still on for the 15th August 2015. As the the 15th draws closer I will keep everyone updated. If you are still interested then let us know.
I have been keeping an eagle eye on the weather forecast and it shows clouds building on Saturday and rain for Sunday. I am considering Friday as an alternative as it will be fine. I will review this on Thursday so watch this space.
