Childcare will be available for infants and pre-schoolers (0-5 years) in a mini-crèche with an experienced childcare worker.  Older children are most welcome to attend the sessions, however please ensure they have a quiet activity to keep them occupied.  We will also provide information about what to do in Sydney with children on request.  Please contact Kylie Williams if you have any questions.
 
OBSERVATORY TOUR
CAASTRO are offering an optional side tour to Siding Spring Observatory and Parkes Radio Telescope.  The tour will take place Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November.  The cost will be dependent on numbers attending but will be approximately $AUS500/person.  This will be a fantastic opportunity to not only visit two of Australia’s premier telescopes but also an opportunity to see some of the iconic Australian bush.
