Yes - well the scope never got out of the tent, but the son-inlaw and myself still had a good weekend.
The Resort looks like it will be a great venue for future events.
I for one, appreciated not having to take my own camping gear with the usual setup and pulldown tasks - and the packing and transporting.
The onsite tent option we took was just great - pretty warm inside, double bed and bunks with mattresses that you COULD sleep on, fridge, stove, kettle, toaster - what more could you want? (there was even a small heater)
The organising committee had pretty much everything under control (accept the weather) and they must be congratulated on their efforts.
I for one, hope i can attend their next one.
we did a trip to Wodonga on friday (so that i could say i have been out of NSW).
called into the Ettamogah Pub for a beer and a burger on the way back.
and the only time we got lost was at the resort when we couldn't find our tent site after booking in (that's what happens when you go the wrong way down a one way street and can't see the numbers on the side of the sites)
didn't get to do the Astrodome, but that was our fault, too much other stuff to do like drinking beer and doing the vendors stall on saturday.
