Vicsouth star party in 2025?

[Hoges (John)]

I believe the Little Desert Nature lodge was burnt down in the fires earlier this year but any info I can find on the web still has it listed as the venue for this years star party - obviously from older posts pre fires. Is anyone aware of any info on a Vicsouth for this year or going forward? Cheers - John.

I hope he's right.

VICSOUTH 2025 IS ON!
Rising up out of the ashes, this is excellent news following the dreadful fires which raged through the Little Desert Nature Lodge, but I'm pleased to announce the VicSouth Desert Spring Star Party will definitely be on again this year! The event, as usual, will take place in the grounds of the Lodge from 17 - 20 October, under the magnificently dark skies of the Little Desert National Park, south of Nhill, in western Victoria. There will be temporary changes for some accommodation styles, but everything else should go on as per previous years. Stay tuned for more details and the date for when bookings will be open. As always, this star party is open to everyone - from seasoned astronomers to members of the public just wishing to learn, all are welcome. Clear skies!

Cheers for that. Currently, if I goto either the info or booking site, I get a 'domain parked' notice. Hopefully, that will change shortly.
