In this study we aim to find locations in Australia capable of hosting a large optical telescope, ideally larger than our current premier instrument, the 3.9m Australian Astronomical Telescope, which may be built in the future to extend Australia's optical astronomy capabilities and create multi-wavelength ties with radio astronomy.We are able to refine possible locations by studying remotely sensed meteorological data to ascertain expected cloud coverage rates across Australia, and combining them with a digital elevation model using a Geographic Information System software package. We find that the best sites in Australia for building optical telescopes are likely to be on the highest mountains in the Hamersley Range in Northwest Western A...
