Wiruna is over 100 acres, so there is plenty of room for the advanced amateur and the novice alike. If you feel your lack of experience will show you up, forget it. The place is dark, and with a few dozen assorted amateurs wandering around between telescopes, coffee breaks and gab fests, all dressed more or less like polar explorers, most of the evening nobody is too certain as to who is who, or who is doing what until a familiar voice identifies the owner, often with an invitation to view a particularly elusive faint fuzzy which has just been tracked down. Consequently, you can observe 10 hours without a break, or observe 10 minutes at a time with one hour coffee breaks without anyone being much the wiser, or caring very much if aware of your imagined sin. There is a quality society 17.5 inch Dob on site for use by any visiting members, while feel free to bring and use your own scope or favorite eyepiece if you wish.
Experienced members are always happy to give newcomers a helping hand.
Between these buildings and the road, you will see several telescopes and piers. Amongst the tree line on the south side of the observing field, you will see tents and vehicles. If you are into camping , seek out Joe Cauchi, or any of the regulars - Mick McCulloch, Don Whiteman, Scott Mellish, or Chris Ross for advice about where to camp and what the cooking and observing arrangements are. If you are no camper, don't despair, Phone Joe Cauchi before you make the trip, and see if you can reserve one of the bedrooms in the bunk house. If this is full up, try the house, at the west end of the property.
