You'll certainly get more than two people here Chris. Some nights more than twenty, but 10 to 15 is about normal. About the best we've had is somewhere between 20 and 25 people.

Ian (gaa_ian) is in town and he is keen to come up. I am still a possible...won't know till later. Ian will be driving from the sunshine coast and might be looking for someone to follow from Maleny. If anyone can help him with a 'convoy' they can PM or e-mail me and I can put you in contact with him (just in case I can't get my leave pass signed  )

Yup - looking pretty ordinary on the coast at present - I'll decide later on, but I don't feel like dragging the van for 2 hours or so to get rained on all night

If it doesn't happen tonight the moon is pretty good this week so there is always next weekend
But let's hope and keep out fingers crossed anyway

Early last night it was very cloudy then cleared to quite pristine skies. Crossed fingers it will do the same tonight.
