Thumbs up

Greetings all

Well I came back from a beautiful week last week in Townsville. Stayed just north of there in a beach house - no TV, no phone, no internet, no e-mail and mobile coverage only if you walked down to the beach! The kids even remained mostly calm the entire week!

I also caught up with ChunkyLad, who kindly invited me to have coffee at his place. It was a delightful morning, and I really want to say thanks to David for his hospitality. Had the chance to attend their field night too, but other commitments stopped that.

We swapped stories and experiences, and I got the chance to drool over his 12" dob - very nice. And he has a great storage facility for the scope too!

I can certainly recommend a trip North to everybody, and if ChunkyLad is anything to go by, the folks from the Townsville club are champs!
