I'm home. A lot of rain between Melbourne and Sydney. The border region and Canberra were getting hammered!

But all stayed dry in the trailer!

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

. . . and guess what?

Tonight the sky is absolutely perfect

Typical!

Good to hear you made it home safe Eric

[danielsun]

Great reports and pics guys!! Would have loved to have been there to catch up with everyone again and see Shane Gilbert. Was also looking forward to Trevor's meteor presentation, that would have been cool! Go Trev!
Wow Darren, that water must have been freezing in that lake!!

But thanks for the phone call and the update of good news on Theresa's operation

Thanks Ken, I sure missed being there and was thinking of what a great time you guys were having regardless of the weather, but the main thing is that yes, the op all went well and Theresa is doing fine.
Thanks all for the well wishes and pm's.

The camp sounds like it was a blast as usual and I cant wait till March.


Cheers Daniel.

Daniel it wasn't the same without you but I'm so glad to hear Theresa's op went well. She'll be up and about running your life in no time!

Bring on MARCH

Daniel,

Good to know the op went well. I missed this one as well, but see you in March.

cheers.

[desler]

To tell you the truth Daniel, the water temp took my breath away.

We missed you mate, but I'm happy to hear all is well at home. I'm thinking the March group photo should be done in the lake, with Jen wearing her snorkel!


See you soon!

Daz

Thanks Niko but she has already started. Now that she is in recovery mode she has got me going flat out around the house and I have actually learnt alot like putting her evening dresses in the wash with my work clothes is apparently a big no no! And woolen jumpers should not go straight in the dryer! ..................just kidding of course, I'm not that bad.

Nah, she'll be floating around on her slab or eski of UDL's. BTW. I sure hope Jen is feeling o.k because I didn't see her holding one can of UDL in any of the pics.

Great pics - I'll have to get off my lazy butt and attend a star party soon!

well i made it home safely I have finally recovered then i decided to make the most of the clear skies last weekend and went for an hours drive out of Swan Hill to Kyalite in N.S.W. camping so i needed to recover all over again (yawns) Johnny was still not co-operating

I HAD THE BEST TIME EVER
Rain, hail or shine this camp is always a great place to be regardless of the dam cloud nebulae's. I still managed to only get 13 hours sleep in total for the whole four nights Friday night and Monday night was the best weather wise thank you so much Niko for going home early All you guys are just so much fun to be around and always very helpful i learn so much each time i go to these camps and i also have very sore ribs & abs from laughing so much
It was great to catch up with all the regulars and the noobies Mish it was nice to have another chicky babe around on the field
Shane was awsome as usual, and Trevor's presention was amazing thanks Trev I even got to take some snaps with Pauls solar scope it wasnt very focused though we couldnt see the screen
I did miss you Danielsun i kept waiting for you to pop into the kitchen at al crazy hours of the morning glad Theresa is doing ok
Great people, great food great camp regardless of the weather thank you so much Ken for making this all happen for us MUAHHH!!.....
I now have some very special friendships forever
Drew also had a great time thank you all for making him also feel so welcome and yes Bo he will be there again in March

IS IT MARCH YET

[Jen]

Here is a few happy snaps

[traveller (Bo)]

Nice snaps Jen, make sure Johnny behaves next time!
I am taking Ryan to Heathcote this Sat, just down the road from you guys. Will see a few new astro buffs there for sure. Just hope the rain will be kept at bay, otherwise I might have to do extend wine tasting...
