Friday 17th

Graham, the owner of the Bush Camp at Charlieville does bus trips around the town and shows where the floods came to, what they are doing about it, all the points of interest in Charlieville and much more, so yes we did the trip. Very interesting indeed. Got back to our camp 2 1/2 hours later and had lunch, then went up to the Cosmos Center. Spent hours in there, so much to see. Booked into the Observatory for tomorrow night. Had tea out at the RSL with some friends of mine, very flash place. Came back and did star trails.

 This is where we stayed, they have a caravan park up the other end of the farm, we wanted the paddock.  At the caravan park Graham has mattress that go on the star beds, great for star gazing.  They use this in the camp kitchen up at the van park.  Entrance into airport and Observatory, Cosmos Center and information Center all in one.  Cosmos Center Star trails from the paddock where we are staying.
