We're coming for sure, HRH & I booked on the boat today, after reading the etiquette and knowing HRH's penchant for switching on bright white lights at night, I'll have to get some red gelatine filter material, lest we be ejected from the camp for breaches of etiquette...Does anyone know where I can get red Gelatine filter material???...

How many square meters do you want Phil? I can pick up A3 sheets here on the coast for you.

Just a question for those that have been before. It is apparent that power is available, but what length of extension cord would generally be necessary to access this power?
Looking forward to finally meeting some of you "in the flesh" so to speak

Hi Allan

If you require power, then most of the observing paddocks are within 20 to 50 metres of a mains power point.

Power is generally drawn from the dormitories via extension leads running out of the doors or windows in the 2 or 3 buildings. Depending on where you set up. I usually bring a 30m and a 20m extension, but to be on the safe side, 50m should cover it.

I would recommend an outdoor extension, such as used on building sites, and an ELCB to protect yourself, as the ground can get damp from dew. Not too sure if we’ll see any grass up there this year, with the drought.

Cheers

Dennis
