Ah Wellies, OK

Likely to be that mucky? Won't my tripod sink

Ahhhh that kind of shower

If I can get thought concurrence, most likely Friday until...? I'd never get my kit sorted otherwise!

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

Not mucky. Ground is good and firm even when wet.
But if grass is a bit long, Wellies come in handy when its wet.

But a ground sheet for the tripod won't go astray too.

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Only a little C8

There is one small clouds in the sky and the seeing is perfect, sorry guys, wish I'd bought the scope. May not make Bretti, grandson in The Canberra hospital with a fist seizure, Deb gone down, will have to detour via Canberra onthe way home tomorrow.

Arthur sorry to hear your grandson is not well.
Crystal clear sky in thredbo tonight.

Hi all, hope you don't mind, but I am thinking of coming up along with Dunk tomorrow for a couple days. Cheers

[glend (Glen)]

Jason there is no phone or internet reception up at Bretti so they won't see your post but I am sure you will be welcome and there is plenty of room.
