Given the amount of gear you take Dave, Al only has room for one shopping bag on his lap.

[h0ughy (David)]

oh how i hope this trend is true.....toowoomba and kilcoy predictions

[glenc (Glen)]

Cold nights to start with and warming up.

[OneCosmos (Chris)]

I don't want to rain on the parade, but 7Timer seems to be predicting fog!

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Stop talking about it. You'll all jinx it!

[OneCosmos (Chris)]

yeah, you might be right because whilst astronomy is a science, meteorology isn't so I'll consult the tea leaves tomorrow.

[Clancy Lane (Phil)]

Houghy,

I will be at Duckadang on Friday to set up the caravan...... will bring my 60Da disc with me so you can load up your drivers etc .

regards,

Phil

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Duckadang weather is closest to the Ipswich forecast, as a rule, just subtract 2 or 3 degrees from the minimum.
Chris, if this breezy weather keeps up, the fog should be kept at bay.
My biggest concern is the fact that every man and his dog is burning off at the moment. There's been a lot of smoke around the past few days. But it's "that" time of year, and there's not much we can do about it. A lot of folks don't bother with a permit.
Wheeeee! 5 sleeps to go.
