I'm actually quite upset no one else has been bothered to ask
I was trying to be very dramatic
I wanted to ask but I didn't want to trigger any relapses.....

Episode of it are also on the CD on the Sky At Night Magazine. I occasionally buy it down here. The middle section is changed for the southen hemisphere of course.
We have lots of amazing things down here like the Magellanic clouds, 11 circumpolar constellations (with 6 fist magnitude stars ) and plus we look into the galactic centre from our vantage point but sadly we have no outstanding documentaries or amazing events like Stargazing Live.
In my state however, we have the largest astronomical society in the country with just over 1000 members. I know, small in number but then again so is our population. The entire country has only a small amount of astronomical societies, the UK numbers are amazing. I would need to drive over 900 kilometres to see the closest radio telescope. We don't have that many at all really.
It would be amazing if our station called ABC would be able to liaise with the astronomical societies and do something amazing like Stargazing live but sadly..........there is no budget. But we DO have an excellent podcast called Starstuff...that's about it really.

That sounds interesting Styggron, here is a link to Starstuff. Some good info here.
I'm sure the only way you'd generate interest in astronomy in OZ is to start naming constellations after sports stars.We have lots of amazing things down here like the Magellanic clouds, 11 circumpolar constellations (with 6 fist magnitude stars
