For those not so good with maps, attached are a couple of sheets with driving instructions from Melbourne and Geelong.
And for those with GPS, the co-ordinates are 37deg, 38' 25" S and 143deg 35' 22" E

Sent everything through today, so the four of us may have snapped up one of the large remaining cabins.

Hey Bo and Jen, great to hear your boys are coming too!

Some more bookings coming in. I have checked with Andrew who owns the site and he tells me one of the 4 berth cabins is actually a 6,
However at this stage I only have 2 cabins each with 6 berths left.

I will update the list of attendees tonight. If anyone is interested or willing to share, please let know.

Payment and form sent.

Better go get myself a battery setup. I prefer that to working off 240V in possible dew for safety reasons.

I might just pinch the battery out of my project car, it is big enough that even a night on the heaters for the SCT should not over discharge it, and it is old enough not to worry me too much anyway.

No worries Paula. I had put Dave and Jamie in an 8 bunk room so lots of room. They had said Paul Albers was coming, or at least they mentioned they were wanting to share with him also. Do you know if he is coming?

Cheers

Malcolm

Yes there will be. Basically what we do is run leads out from the camp area on to the field. Plan is to enclose all the boards used to distribute the power in weatherproof boxes.

I am planning to head to the site shortly to do some measuring to ensure we have sufficient leads.

Cheers

Hi all,

great to see a good mix of the regulars, some others who've attended past Snake Valley camps, plus some newbies.

Not long to go now .... surprised Jen hasn't started the no of sleeps countdown

Paul
