Just a suggestion, that we stock up on firewood for the daytime activities which may include, Billy tea....Didgeridoo....Accordian....a nd assorted collimating & tweaking etc.
Is it worth bring a brazier type fireplace ?
I may even try to scam a fishing rod for the stream. Any ideas on bait for the local fishing variety ?
Getting excited now.

Hi Guys
Can't make it this time around as I have a birthday to attend at SW Rocks.
Definitely try to make the next one if the place is good.
Hope you all have good weather and great skies.
Cheers

Just out of interest I have been watching the weather and the current prediction for the end of next week in the area is not looking good.
I will keep everyone posted on any further developments in the weather department but save to say, i will be reluctant to be "tenting it" if is raining on top of the -3 degree (yes minus 3) nights predicted. The chill factor could be disastrous.

I will keep an eye out for the weather too.
