Still hasn't improved. I think we can consider this one officially postponed. What about Friday night, if the situation improves by then? I am already booked for Saturday night.

Friday is fine for me, but I won't be there until 8 or 8:30 (or maybe 9).

The weather forecast doesn't look good

The weather isn't too bad today, no rain, but supposedly chance of a thunderstorm this arvo.

If it's clear after the storm i'll give you guys a call and see who's keen on heading out.

I was having similar thoughts.....maybe we should only go to Kulnura, in case that extra 50+ mins (in total) of driving to Mogo is wasted by those storms, though.

Further to above, I just checked Weatherzone, and it looks promising, so long as the cloud cover lurking over Sydney moves fast enough over the next 3-4 hours. The predicted thunderstorm seems mainly related to a thick patch of cloud off the east coast, currently just south of Sydney's latitude. Fingers crossed. xxxx

Just heard from Rod, we're going to wait until 9pm or so and if we see stars, we'll head to Kulnura for some moon viewing I guess
