Thanks Dave for the offer to transport the telescope.

Things are looking good but not definite. We may at this stage hire a car and head over from Melbourne and take advantage of soverign hill for the kids on Saturday.

Is the $26.40 pp for both nights?

Thanks

Thumbs up

Yes I am definitely in for both nights, but just myself as I will be packing the family onto the 3pm plane home on the friday and hopefully grabbing a ride with Davepretorius over if he's still in Melbourne.

Dave47 let me know a bank a/c or address etc to get the $'s to you.

I presume we need to bring our own provisions for food etc. Are there kitchen facilities?

Looking forward to meeting you guys.

i am booked on the boat arriving friday morning and leaving monday night.

hmmmmmm so there's a bintel in melbourne now......what to do on my free days in melbourne??????

mike, yes to kitchen facilities and plates and knives and glasses etc. It is a scout camp setup, so just bring food.

I am providing meat and potatoes for the crew on friday night, so just bring your own salad that night.

Ballarat has lots of supermarkets and shops, so i can pick you up friday and go via ballarat and go food shopping etc. Snake valley is 20 mins past ballarat. Ballarat 1hrish from melbourne.

In terms of power I will bring two Leads 20 and 30m respectively and two RCD boxes. We use these on building site and this will give the ability to draw 15amps of power. 7 outlets from two boxes. I will need at least 2 the rest are up for grabs. Hope that this is OK with you Dave?

Yes, there's power from external power points on the rec. room just next to the observing area.

When in doubt, bring a 10m or 20m power lead. You can never have too many of them.

I'm bringing 2 x 10m leads :-)

Excellent. As long as I have power I have everything covered. Should be plenty of gawking going on. Must say I am looking forward to checking out Anthony's rig. Very curious.

Someone has to keep an eye on you lot.

I don't want to see anyone accidentally slip off the end of that pontoon.
