Steve and ,there is a sticky at the top of this thread of how to get to Cambroon.

People usualy start arriving about 3:00 or so in the afternoon so as they can set up and then have time for a chat and a bit of refreshment and maybe find some planets in the daytime

Stuff to bring? Telescope if you have one, or Bino's,also any photo gear. If not there are plenty of scopes you can have a look through.

If you plan to stay the night, a mattress and a sleeping bag or a tent if you prefer to camp.
Some food for the BBQ or heat up in the microwave.

Warm clothes and footware, and a beanee as it can get quite cool at night whilste not moving around too much

Some insect repellant,you can be sure that after so much moisture in the last month or so there will be a few around

If you have any questions PM me or Paul (1 ponders) and we will help you out.
I Look forward to meeting you
Ron
