Hi Tony,
We are located approx 38k west of Ballarat Victoria. Up in the mountains. Snake Valley is a small rural town of 250 people and lovely dark skies.
The blue circle on both Maps gives our location

Any suggestions for Ballerat accomodations welcome.

hi Mill, the Peppinella Motel 120 Glenelg Hwy ph 0353359666 is pretty good we stayed there a couple of years ago and it is on the main rd to Snake Valley about 15 min away.

Thanks for that Mick.
Looks pretty good.
Already bought an Minolta Dimage 7i for those nights and making an motorized platform for the dob so i can shoot back at those pesky stars
Now if i can get some clear nights to fool around with the camera ill be happy.

That's good news that you are coming Mill
Peppinella is also the closest Motel to here. It's where some have stayed during previous Camps.

I stayed at the pepinella motel as well, not a bad place.. Not ideal for a family with 3 kids - no kitchen area, main bed in the loungeroom etc, but good for its proximity to snake valley and ballarat.

As time is getting close to the:

I am in need of confirmations.

1. definite booking?
