Day 154 Coonabarabran

---

Went to the Skywatch place last night. Unfortunately it had clouded over a bit by the time it was dark so did not see lots through the many telescopes there but did have a close look at the moon and saw a few stars briefly. Today have been exploring the local area including a national park. Went to the largest of the telescopes but was closed for maintenance so could not go inside. Seems like we are just not meant to see them. Much cooler today and has just started raining.
