ok have paid and am booked in but I have a small issue - I have just put my mothers house on the market since she has moved into a nursing home. with the sale it puts me at a 50/50 of attending astrofest now. Last year it was me selling and moving. I wished life was normal? I don't want to go without for a 3rd year.

Sorry to hear you won't be there. Astrofest is synonymous with Australia for me and such a shame not to see people who have become part of the furniture!

Weather

Obviously the weather is looking very unpromising right now, but hopefully it will change. The following is the forecast for the exact coordinates of Duckadang (26.8392 S 152.27475 E)
