the end of an era

Today it is with sad news that i have sold my little AstroSubi . I had my first astroparty in her back in 2004, we then progressed to attend other parties with a happy heart. it has brought me lots of joy and photons.

but over the half distance to the moon of 235000km it was time to move on to the next space craft today the astrosubi it is now in the hands of a teenager who now has his first car.

so I am now traversing the universe in a outlander

I drove a Forester for 12 years, great car. My son has just bought his first new Forester. Good luck with the Outlander, hope you get the same great years out of it.

The Forester was always a sight to behold at as you long-distance travellers from NSW arrived at the Qld Astrofest, towing a trailer loaded with Astro gear. How on earth did you and Alan fit in the cabin with the vehicle full to the gunnels?

Watching the incredible volume of gear disgorging as you and Alan set up, was always thoroughly entertaining; I’m sure you transgressed one or two laws of physics in terms of volume and space….

Cheers

Dennis
