Observer Travel and Accommodation

Please note that the AAO no longer books accommodation for visiting observers. Visiting observers will need to arrange their own
accommodation, car hire and travel bookings. The tables below show hotels used by observers and guests of the AAO.

Please advise the AAO of the details for your next observing run. Use our Observer Travel Notification Form .

Please see the Travel between Sydney and Coonabarabran page for information on travel arrangements.
