G'Day Paul,
I did think about making contact before I went up, but it was a busy holiday doing all sorts of astronomicus interruptus activities like 50th wedding anniversaries (not mine!
), visiting relos, meeting some of Lyn's mates from way back, etc. I took my 20x80s and PST with me and I think I got them out once each, between social events and the weather! Most of my time was in Brisbane with Lyn's family and just a couple of days visiting my brother at Cooran.
The gardens are well set up and looks like there's a lot more on the way by the work in progress there.
Al.
