Warwick Archers – BAS Member’s Dark Sky Night

These evenings are conducted for the benefit of BAS Members at the Warwick and District Archers site 15 minutes drive south-west of Warwick. This is not an event open to the general public night.

The Warwick Archers have a large hill-side lease on Ford Road, Rosenthal Heights, Warwick. Google Maps location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gikrxSm3iKKStain6

Access is easiest by taking Glen Road west from the Warwick Hospital and, after about 7km drive, turing left onto Ford Road. The Archers entrance gate is well signposted.

It is strongly recommended that you contact the BAS President and ask to be added to the Warwick Archer’s email list. Final event organisation is communicated via email.

The Archers have a very large site on the western side of Ford Road. Facilities are good, including, dining pavilion, basic kitchen, tank water, flushing toilets, hot shower, large camping area, plenty of open space and good dark sky. The site is also only 15 minutes drive from Warwick and all its services. The sky is surprisingly dark even this close to Warwick.

However, please be aware there is no 240V power and no true overnight accommodation. Plenty of space for camping and also a swag on the dining pavilion floor is an option.

If BAS members demonstrate sufficient interest in the location we will explore opportunities to create accommodation on-site. At present, you should be prepared to camp on-site.
