NEW MOON nights 14th-15th MAY

Just a quick note,The New Moon nights for May are booked out.I have had a lot of response we may do another.

Some things people attending might like to keep in mind.

DEW!! its very heavy at night and in morning,bring old towels,tarps etc

I have two big plastic containers that can be used to put laptops in on tables for imagers,If you have 'camp toilet tents' for imaging bring those if you wish.

Its getting COLDER at night bring warm clothing and port.

We are having camp oven cooked roast meal on the Saturday night,$12

the Friday night I will have BBQ and a gas stove avaliable for you to cook food on,electricity cables will also be avaliable out on the field,A small donation for use of that would be be appreciated-thanks.

TWITCHING! yes one time we had a small group,and one gentleman put a list together of all the birds we saw.I thought this was good,I know two keen bird watchers are coming and I hope we can make a list of what we see.

BLACKBUTT SHOW,for those who would like to see some country display,the annual Blackbutt Show is on,on the 15th May.

If you need any assistance or questions asked feel free,I am here to make the weekend as most enjoyable as possible.

Thanks Chris PS NO PETS

I won't make any comments about the weather Chris, for fear of jinxing the weekend.

re new moon weekend

Have faith David all will be fine

Just a note there is no mobile phone optus/vodophone service,no internet.

Someone asked but I forgot who,re vodophone.

PLEASE bring mozzie/insect repelant.ALSO if you want to do some bird watching-LONG PANTS good BOOTS.

All looks set for a fine weekend

I have a large esky that people can put food in,I have some cold bricks,if you want to bring ice for it,thats fine.

cheers Chris

re new moon weekend

Bit disappointed with all the late cancellations,down to only 3 people,I was looking at doing a roast meal,and have bought all the food etc,if anyone else is going to Ron's instead-let me know.

Everyone seems to be heading there,although on chap from these pages had a very serious accident on Monday,I can certainly understand why he is not coming.

regards Chris
