 No pressure. I'm just glad to get the hell out of Sydney for a while. I have cobwebs on my mount. Tragic...

You can actually remember where your mount is stored and what it looks like....

Oh, that’s a real shame. Meeting new people is always good but Astrofest is at least as much as the annual catch-up with people you quite literally only see once a year.

No I think it was earlier than that. We’ve made the trip 3 times from memory, the first in 2007. We usually hire a van from Brissy and use that for accomodation.
