You do realise Paul that all the cloud and rain we've had on the Coast of late is simply the standard result as predicted by Newton's Modified Law ("For every Astro purchase there is an equal and opposite burst of cloudy skies") brough on by all that purchasing you did a while back!
I don't know of anyone else around the area here that has been making any astro related purchases lately ..... nor do I know of anyone packing the 4wd and heading bush for a week camping at a nice dark site with said new gear.
