Hi Michael,

As per Micks map if the weather is clear we should be at the observing site around 4pm.

So we can set up meet each other and take some photos for Ken!

BBQ is still on BYO all food and drink.

Someone needs to bring a digital camera.

PM Mick to get some more details. Re phone Etc.

Weather is very 50/50. A lot of low cloud around and the High is not moveing much.

Mick will post some messages around midday and 3pm. Re weather.

Hope its clear and will see you there.

Dave47tuc (David) · #69 06-05-2005, 06:24 PM

As you can see low cloud in Victoria.

But the cloud over SA could drift this way.

Keep an eye on it.
