3RF is a Texas-based philanthropical organisation committed to fostering interest in various sciences, including astronomy. Amongst other things, they organise astronomy outreach, such as to school groups and interested adults in the community.

3RF is expanding its outreach activities into Australia. I am sure those guys on IIS who are involved will reveal all in due course.....

That is very interesting Rod, the world needs more 3RF's !
I am attempting to foster a similar interest here in NE Arnhem Land & have a grant application in for a big Science & Astronomy fair in 2007 for National Science Week.
Hmmm ..... 50 acres of Dark sky land, sounds like a great Idea, I will have to see what i can do up here, you are giving me Ideas
