BAS conducts regular telescope evenings for its Sunshine Coast members on the lawns of the Maleny Golf Club clubhouse.
The club’s street address is: 15 Porters Lane, North Maleny QLD, 4552
Most people initially head for Landsborough and then head up the Landsborough Maleny Road to Maleny itself. Once in Maleny, drive straight through the first roundabout and then take the first right, Teak Street, to head towards North Maleny and the golf club.
The club site has toilets and a clubhouse that are available to BAS members and event attendees.

BAS will conduct periodic, hopefully monthly, telescope nights within metro Brisbane, at the Tingalpa Aero Modelling Club facility at Stanton Road, West, Tingalpa.
BAS members will be informed of these events, in advance, via email. Specific date and time information will be provided in the emails.
The location provides extensive grassed areas with minimal directly-intrusive street lighting. These nights will be an excellent opportunity for telescope beginners to hone their skills before heading out of the city to darker skies.
Telescope setup will be in the grassed carpark area just to the west of the main aero club facilities. BAS will have the key to operate the Stanton Road security boom gate to the parkland area.
The address is Stanton Road, West, Tingalpa.

The location is recognised by two names searchable within Google Maps:
If driving from Brisbane, head for Rosewood. Then take the Rosewood Laidley Rd west for 7.6km. Just after the first right-hand curve in the road look for two small bus stop shelters. Immediately after turn left into Calvert Station Road, cross the rail line and creek and immediately turn left into Bourke Rd, West. Proceed 260m to a gate entrance on the right with two white flag poles. Drive down the lane at no more than 20kph and you have arrived.
