Hi all

Registrations for the Border Stargaze 2007 are now OPEN.

An excellent cross range of accommodation options are available at the Great Aussie Resort to suit all budgets and tastes. Caravan and Camping Sites through to well appointed Cabins are available for couples, families and groups. The Resort has excellent facilities - which if you do decide to take a Cabin will leave more room in your car for not only your family but more telescope equipment.

Your registration for the event represents value for money and includes:

Two internationaly renowned speakers - David Levy (live audio from US - Stellafane) and Robert McNaught.
Participation in a variety of "hands on" astronomical work shops
Unlimited access to the Cosmodome - Mobile Planetarium
Entry to the Lucky Door Prize Draw (details of prizes to be posted to the web site shortly)
Free breakfast on the Sunday morning - before you head off
and so much more....

Check out our online information pack, as we will be updating it at regular intervals to include other exciting news.

We welcome your comments and feedback.

Hi Petra,

I tried without success to find info on the various accomodation options.
The resort website only mentioned squatters huts and powered sites.

I think he means he wants to look at the accommodation, not just what the rates are etc.

The form looks great Petra, i'll speak to my family and organise our registration in the coming weeks.

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Hi all

We have provided descriptions at this stage as we are awaiting updated official photographs of the actual accommodation itself. As soon as that comes to hand we will post photos in our information pack (or on this site - if its okay with Mike).

Cheers Petra

Hi all

WOW! We have booked out Park Units already! Get in quick.

Cheers Petra

[Rodstar (Rod)]

Can you just clarify Petra, if I book a settlers hut for me and two kids, is the charge for accomodation, all up, $190, for the Friday and Saturday night? Do we have to share with another family, or do we get the hut all to ourselves?

[iceman (Mike)]

I'm after one of the cabin thingies with heating, TV, kitchenette etc for a family. What are they called?

Keep me one aside Petra, i'll make a booking on Monday.

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Hi Rod

You will have a "Squatters Hut" all to your self, children and your SDM. All up $190 for two nights(Accommodation only - family rate). Note that this is the top range of accommodation available. (Amendment made ).

Your registration best option would be One Adult and two children.

Hi Mike

The Squatters Huts - are the top of the range accommodation (no Spa sorry!). I have just spoken to the Project Manager and he has advised "get in quick!"

[iceman (Mike)]

ok I've registered and booked for a squatters hut.

Is it correct that I need to indicate family rate + 1 extra child (eliza - as abbey is under 4) for the registration, and the same for the accommodation?

Let me know if I've done it incorrectly.

Looking forward to it!

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Hi Mike

Yes, you are correct.

Cheers Petra

Hi all

We totally thrilled with such an early response to such a very new Star Party.

Thank you to all the IceInSpacers at that have registered so far.

Please note that registrations are moving fast - so best advice I can give is "get in early".
