Kulnura 25th Feb
Hi guys.
Time for another Kulnura meet! The last one was on new years day when we got smoked out early due to the fires!
Then we had Lostock, and next month there's SPSP - so let's have a big one on the 25th feb.
Apparently Glenn Dawes is going to try and make it up on this date, too.. Who's up for it?

No commitment from me yet but i would like to be there. with a few star parties very close i might be pushing my luck, but you never know! She has told me to go play with the traffic a few times, so another night without me might be a blessing!

Geoff,
Follow the directions on this map: Kulnura Map (250k jpeg).
We usually get there before dark, between 7pm and 8pm I guess. Stay until whenever.. but it's a private property, so no camping etc.
There is toilets and 240v power, and an urn on the boil.

Thanks for the info Mike.
Be there for sure if the weather is good.
Looks like I gotta bring my own fridge with a red light in it eh? (just kidding - bit risky for a one niter)
We might have a visitor from Bintel.
Trying to talk Michael into popping up from Blacktown if his girlfriend will let him out for the nite.
Reckons it's a long way to drive for him. (sorry mick - see - i've dobbed you in - so you will have to make an effort now)
Will send him the link to the map
Ta.

David,
Andrew is correct; I've been offered a position with the government and I've decided to accept. I applied and interviewed for the position in November. It took 3 months to get the good news.
It's my dream IT job come true -- finally, a role which will facilitate what I learnt at university over a period of six years.
There's no firm starting date set yet, other than early March, which, to me, means 2-3 weeks.
So, as it stands, this'll be my final Kurnula visit. If, in future, Kurnula lands on a weekend, I'll most definitely try my darned best to make it. It'd be a five hour drive, but so worth it.
Regards,
Humayun
