Friday night has two visible ISS transits and Saturday one - here's hoping for a couple of clear nights.

Sounding like an excellent weekend coming.

I keep meaning to ask, I know there are no fridges in the bunkhouses but is there 240V for battery chargers etc?

Yep there is plenty of power around the place to charge things up etc and there is also three fridges in the kitchen that you can put your food and drinks in
Some cabins do have power points in them but not all of them

I've never had an issue finding a free power point as there are several in the dining room and kitchen.

All good, we will manage, seriously thinking about bringing my coffee maker, I function much better with a nice brew in me! We will find somewhere to plug it in.

Mine is only a little tacker so it won't eat much room.

Order noted. Perhaps I had better but another brick of coffee.

I never usually worry about dusting the chocolate on.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of joining you all on the Saturday night with my girlfriend and we were going to be camping overnight too.

This is all dependant on the seeing conditions though so will we be able to pay once we arrive?

Hi all

Looking forward to this weekend!! What time does everyone start arriving on Friday, I have a half day and want to try get out of Melbourne before the peak hour craziness starts and have some extra time to remember how to put up my tent again!

Cheers
Andrew

I am planning to leave home between 9 and 10am and it usually takes a bit over an hour to get there, although I travel slow with all the gear on board!
Paul, Barry and a few others should be there about midday.

Cheers

Malcolm
