Blue Mountains - Shipley Plateau, Blackheath, 29th April

Hi all,

We have been granted access again to James' property on the Shipley Plateau at Blackheath again for Saturday 29th April. So far the forecast is looking promising.

As we did with Rod, I insisted that we give James a gift of his preferred brew when we impose on his generosity, and we will share the cost of this between us.

Note that this new location is turfed, so dew most likely will visit us. I have been told that dew really only forms if the breeze stops (it is on a hill, so a breeze is usually present) or if there's an Easterly wind blowing, which for us also means it is clouded over... But as the micro climate of this location is different from the Airfield, better come prepared just in case.

THERE ARE KANGAROOS ALL AROUND HERE!!! This property has roos all over it at night, but with us being there they most likely won't come to visit us. But they will be about. So take care driving to AND from this location.

The property is on a hill, but there are a few flat areas for us to set up on.

As always, keep an eye on this thread for any changes and last minute cancellation due to weather.

Hope to see you there.

Alex.
