Returning to Oz!
Guys,
Looks like we'll be coming back to Oz ( Melbourne) mid June for a couple of weeks to catch up with the family etc.
If anyone needs some smaller astro stuff "hand carried" from the UK back to Oz around this time let me know and I'll see if I can help... Carrier costs to be paid in Vegemite!!!!

" you can take my country -but not my freedom" - Bravehart
Being Scots; we may loose our freedom, our hair and the fight against gravity, but NEVER our accent!! It's cheap enough to support forever, no additional running costs.....

Geeeez, that's a worry! My mother was a Macdonald as well!!!
I suppose no ones perfect!!
HOughy,
Have you seen the rediculous prices they charge for Kilts!! Then you need all the other gear... my brother-in-law spent almost 1000 GBP on his rig-out!! ( Mind you, he does look sexy!!!)
I'll stick to the blue singlet, footy shorts and thongs!!

Hi
We also have rellies returning from the UK at the end of May. They have so much to bring back they will have their own personal container but it is only 85% full. Maybe you can do a deal for the other 15% if you have something large.

If you could, go steal Sir Patrick Moore's garden knomb so we can take
some holiday snaps of it, like Sydneys Opera House and such. Includding
some of it doing an observing session or two. And post them back to him.
You can quietly return the Knomb to it's usual garden spot on your return.

You mustn't have been to the UK for a while then - last time I was there they were far from nice.
