Easiest way from Brisvegas is up to Cabulture and then out along the D'Agular Highway, through Kilcoy, then on towards Moore. Turn right just before you get to Moore and head out to Linville. Check out the map to get to Moore

Map http://www.qldastrofest.org.au/html/map.htm

Then image 1 to get to Linville and then image 2 to get to Duckadang. In image 2 Linville is just off the map at the center bottom. Duckadang is on Avoca Esplanade at the dogleg after the river crossing

Do you need a hand Dave. I could come out early and test the skies for you if you like. Just to make sure everything is working fine in the heavens above

You know Paul, ever since I met you last year I thought you were a generous fellow!

However we probably have enough people organised for that job! However, I am sure we can find some things for you to do during the week.....

Ahh, shucks, thanks Dave

I'd like the job of test driving any new gear that the Vendors bring with them. You know 20" Maxmounts, 9" Taks and ME Paramounts, big SBIGs

Yeah, and I'll have a Courier Mail in the morning, and I would prefer it if my shoes were buffed rather than brushed.

The committee are pulling out all the stops this year. Great guys!

Oh, and the toast, organic white, browned on one side only ...
