Thanks for the kind words William. All I can say is that it was great to see how much everyone seemed to enjoy both the camp facilities themselves, and the wonderful skies we enjoyed overhead at night.
On behalf of the Committee I'd like to thank everyone who came along and made this event a success. We had a great mix of old friends and brand new stargazers make the effort and attend. There was a great feeling of companionship throughout the camp and I don't think anyone was left to feel they were "on their own".
It was wonderful to welcome new faces such as Mick (aka Davros), Mark & John C, Richard, & John R to our fold. I hope you all enjoyed your stay, and I hope to see you again soon.
I'll post a bit more detail when I get some spare time but for now here's the short version:
The weather God's were pretty good to us - some drifting cloud cover during the days kept things from getting too warm, while the nights were mostly clear and not too cool. Monday night was the coldest as such, the observing field dropped down to 8° briefly but hovered around 9-10° much of the night. By comparison the coast here (a mere hour or so due east) from all reports suffered blustery and rainy conditions much of the time, with viewing conditions at night not worth the effort.
At camp it was a different story - the skies were great, though a little moist at times. Sunday & Monday were the best nights overall, the list of objects visible was naturally huge as expected for this time of year, and I did my best to view as many of them as possible.

I had my Argo Navis running hot, especially during my Messier Marathon on Monday night. I've got 55 'M' objects logged on my sheets for that night alone, but bagged another dozen or so the previous night as well.
Daytimes were spent in various ways: bushwalking (as previously mentioned), watching DVD's (the big screen projector got a bit of a workout), astronomy related discussions, some equipment maintenance / modification, a bit of catch up snoozing, some wildlife observing (various birds, our old mate the goanna, etc) and general chatting & socialising.
I was there for 5 days and to be honest I don't know where it all went, the time just flew and all too soon it was time to come home.
I'll get a few images posted in the next couple of days, in the meantime I'm looking forward to reading some other peoples posts with their experiences and impressions of their stay at Barambah.
Cheers Folks!

I'd really appreciate any feedback, positive or negative, or general suggestions on ways we could make the next camp even better.
