Optional Day Trip - Brewery Tour at PottersStudents should head back to Sydney for the ASA
On each night of the conference (weather dependent) there will be optional star gazing to be held somewhere on the Potters grounds (more information to follow later). If you live in the Sydney area and have your own telescope you're more than welcome to bring it and help out, or you can just join in and enjoy being at a darker sky site than you may be used to.
