Phil much as I enjoy having a cook up outside my tent at Astrofest it was unnecessary at Barambah, but I promise I made good use of the grill plate on the stove there frequently, and yes there were a few sausages in my larder!
It appears that I was so busy much of the weekend that I have barely used my own camera at all. The only pics I've taken were of the goanna that came visiting us Saturday afternoon. I haven't posted them yet because I think Jeanette got better pics of him.
(True to form, this goanna like many others I've seen was definitely a creature of habit - he came waddling through again Sunday afternoon using the same path as the day before! Joy and I were nearly ready to leave and were catching our breath sitting on the benches just outside the dining hall. He seemed much more relaxed and just stopped with his head up, regarded us curiously for a couple of minutes,then slowly walked off again.)
The weather wasn't really
so much of a problem - except for being woken by rain at 6:30 am - although we didn't have crystal clear skies all night, oneither night, I certainly don't have the feeling that the weekend was ruined or wasted by the weather anyway. I had a great time - being with old friends and meeting new, and to me thats the difference between an observing session, and an Astro Camp!
