Calling astronomers near Noosa, Qld, Australia

A very good friend of mine is wheelchair bound with Motor Neurone Disease.
She is vacationing with relatives in Noosa until 20th June. I know she
would love to see the night sky through a telescope - Are there any
astronomers in the Noosa (or I guess Brisbane) area who could help?
Unfortunately living in the UK, I cannot.

Thanks

Nearest club to Noosa is http://suncoastastronomy.homestead.com/News.html

Also you could try these. Neither are in Noosa, but both are within a couple
of hours drive.

In Brisbane there is http://www.seqas.org/ and http://www.aaq.org.au/

These guys are just past Brisbane (if you're coming from Noosa)

Good luck,

If she or you find someone, I suggest going to this link:
http://www.cuyastro.org/observer.html and downloading the June 2006 edition
(it's in pdf format). There's an article in there by a Mike Franduto that
explictly addresses the needs of a wheelchair bound person being able to
view through a telescope.
