A little off the beaten track from DIY Observatories, I know... buuuut a special event for us at Eagleview.
Big job preparing for the ashes memorial ceremony for our late son Ben, in just under three weeks time.
The first photo shows my lovely neighbour Andrew, clearing the spot on Mt Eagle, in the middle of the property, to spread Ben's ashes. On a good day and at nearly 5000ft, in full view of the tops of the Tenderry's and more distant Brindabella's, it's a special spot, my Mum's ashes are there too

. Second photo is where we cleared an area, at the eastern end and highest point of the property, up behind my observatory and catering for about 40 or 50 people, it will have a big Marquee for the lunch afterwards and space for quite a few to camp over night. We will have a porta-loo nearby to make trips to the toilet quicker, plus the fire pit and ummmm? yep!..perhaps some drinking!

well into the, hopefully clear, night
Mike
