Most people get there between 7 and 8:30pm.

I'll be there at around 8pm tomorrow, after the kids are in bed.

Other than for the potential for raging bushfires, the sky is looking promising for tonight?!

Very hot. Dry and mostly sunny. Some cloud late in the day.
Freshening northwest winds before a strong, squally southerly change
in the evening.

Sorry to hear it vingy.

With any luck, the change won't come through until late, hopefully we'll get a few hours in before it clouds over.

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit uncertain about this bushfire activity tonight. My wife just heard the M3 is closed going north around Gosford.

I think I'll head up the mountains tonight instead. I'm sorry I'll miss meeting you guys but there will be other times.

Regards

Glenn D
