Allan - I thought you were part of the furniture out there!!

gsb - it will be nice to meet up with some new faces.

Steve - nice if you can make it out, but understand if you can't make it.


I should point out that there is a $5 fee per night to cover the use of the gas for cooking / hot water, the recharging of baterries for the toilet and lights in the caravans. There is a van out there with 2 bunk beds that are first in, best dressed - so perhaps bring a tent as backup. There is a flushing toilet, and most of the regulars go into town (about 5 mins away) for a shower. You can also get dinner at the general store or venture into the pub. Most activity during the day involves sleep, equipment maintainence and sitting around talking all things astronomical. It is a great chance to pick the brains of some of the experts out there, pick up some ideas and get some hands on help.

Maps and other details are in the pdf I linked to in the original post, so be sure to check it out if you haven't already.
