Guys, I am staying at Byron Bay for the first three weeks of September. If the inspiration grabs me and I want to join you at Alex's, where do I go?

We are without a trailer at the moment, so unfortunately I will be scopeless. But maybe I can bring a nice bottle of port in lieu of same?

Thanks Graham for the heads up. My family will kill me if I stay away overnight on the family holiday given I am already away alot due to work!....so it appears a night at Alex is not going to be do-able.

I like the sound of the 100 acres above Byron! Glen has also offered me a visit at his place. I will PM you. I would love to catch up if I can manage it.

All are most welcome..stay as long as you like.

There is plenty of room for tents and anyone without gear can use mine (12inch) but maybe bring your fav EP's. If you want to do any astro photos all I can offer is an eq6 which should be available (I may be doing some work on it and the imaging set up which may not be finished by the night)

Glen maybe we could set up at the top ..I hope to clear a spot by then ... its a couple of feet closer to everything.. maybe 150 feet higher?

If you wish to bring loved ones thats ok... a day trip down the rain forrest could be organised if anyone likes gem hunting... however it is very primative at my place so warn them... I dont know if I will have the hot water working by then ... but I will do my best.
