The table below is a first attempt to compile a of list annual star parties held in Eastern Australia that are open to all comers. Some star parties are arranged for members of a specific club or other groupings. To our Australian Members, if you know of any others, let me know and I'll update. I have given the approximate month when these events are usually held. Check the event website for specific annual dates, they are usually tied to the new moon.
