Hello All,
I hope this is the right place to post this message.? I am planning a trip to Australia for late December and most of January 2006 and was hoping to view the southern skies with our friends in Australia. I will be in the Green Valley area of Sydney most of the time. Side trips to Queensland and Tasmania during the trip. Any Star Parties on Friday night the 30th? Later in the month or in between may be possible. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks and hope to hear from Australia! Take care! Ken Tydeck Mesa,AZ. USA
