Sigh.... Provided about a million things go to plan in the next week, I'll be there.. Things tend to go wrong for me at the last minute ALL THE TIME!
I do very much hope to make it.. And very much hope the weather plays nice (which I doubt it will considering what I've just done today... )

ALEX!!!! Someone has to talk to that young man. The only way to get around the Murphy weather laws is when you purchase something like that it is critical that it gets delivered to someone else to break in. Then it can come home. That way the weather gods are fooled.

OOPS - sorry Ron, in my excitement I forgot to add that I won't be able to make it that weekend - working again. Bugger! If the sky manages to clear up maybe a mid week visit again?

G'day Ron,
well the weather seems to be deteriorating for this weekend doesn't it? Nice little Low off the coast and forecast to deepen and drift south. So if we get no sky tomorrow night, the 28th seems the best shot. I must have really *** ** the weather gods in a past life. So while hoping for the best but expecting the worst for tomorrow, I'd say I am a very likely starter for the 28th.
Peter.

Attention all Cambroon-ers
For all of you who were heading down to Somerset Dam tomorrow for the opening of the Ten Chain Hill Observatory - it's been cancelled due to the persistent cloud cover. It's showing no sign of easing off and the Low off the coast is showing every sign of deepening and heading south. So go vote and have a good day. Hopefully I'll see you on the 28th at Ron's.

That's just too bad Peter. I've been really looking forward to this weekend.
But as you said, there is always next weekend at Rons.
Time to put Plan B into action I think.

I'm supposed to be cutting over a server next week-end. I'll see if I can do it during the week.
And the cyclone is my fault, I bought a mono camera 
It's Alex's fault it's hanging around
