Thanks for posting Nettie, it was great fun. Always is. Way too short though.
My thoughts exactly, great snaps JJJ, lots of happy campers there, I'm still struggling to understand how time can go so quickly, perhaps there's a time warp at Duckadang .

Hi JJJ,

Thanks for posting these great snapshots.

We had hoped to get up there again this year but unfortunately could not
make it. Hope everyone had a great time and we look forward to catching
up with our friends at Duckadang in the near future.

Best regards

A very nice photographic record of a very special and most enjoyable event Jeanette.

We had room in Bailey House and it was excellent as were the facilities. This region and surroundings are so very different to what we were used to in the very far west of NSW.

My wife and son really enjoyed wandering around down near the river and further up the road past the camp, looking for parrots and the local Kookaburras.

Certainly a most memorable event.

Regards
Trevor

Looks like you pretty much covered the lot JJJ. The only additional picies I have are of the morning frost on my bike.

I was kinda hoping you didn't get the "shot" of me standing behind the 20". But that's life I guess.

Thanks for sharing the snaps JJJ, It is great to look back on what was an enjoyable week despite the weather (and power issues).

Pete.
