I'd say from 3:30. Most folks would be arriving closer to sunset, 5pm.

Weather has changed - Overcast over the blue mountains. Keep an eye on the Katoomba webcam ... But its not looking good.

Looking at the weather here, and the forecasts, we have decided that we will not be coming tonight.

Skippysky last I looked showed clear. Another site shows clear, others cloud & others rain.
Rod says cloud's slowly breaking up, no wind, & too hard to tell at this time.
I won't be ready to leave home until 4:30, 5pm. Guess I'll pack & see how things are going then.

I've got a couple of calls pending for 5pm.
Ben, if you're interested, be it at The Airfield or in Sydney tonight, I'd be happy to help you out. Just PM me. I'm in Maroubra.

I'm up at the air field now and it's ninety percent thick cloud, clearing a bit to the east but I think what little breeze there is is from the west to north west. The people up here for the planes don't think it will clear. I'll hang around and have a cuppa see how it progresses.

AGH! Not going to waste anyone's time anymore. Hopeless situation now. Spoke with Rod, breeze from NE, & back burning at Wooodford bringing smoke.
Oh, we'll. You'll find me tonight at Coogee Beach wetting a line. A good high tide at 9:08pm. Might bring home some dinner. Mmmmm, flathead, tailor, jewfish... Mmmmm.

Thanks Roger,
I've hung back hoping, but I think I'll make the call for myself now too and give it a miss this time. Frustrating.
Sorry all
