Hi Allan

If you require power, then most of the observing paddocks are within 20 to 50 metres of a mains power point.

Power is generally drawn from the dormitories via extension leads running out of the doors or windows in the 2 or 3 buildings. Depending on where you set up. I usually bring a 30m and a 20m extension, but to be on the safe side, 50m should cover it.

I would recommend an outdoor extension, such as used on building sites, and an ELCB to protect yourself, as the ground can get damp from dew. Not too sure if we’ll see any grass up there this year, with the drought.

Cheers

Dennis
