Next stop... Barambah!

Howdy boys and girls,

This will be my last post before Barambah. An entire week socialising with fellow astronomers under dark skies... can't wait! The weather is shaping up to be a glorious Spring week here in SE Queensland.

I'm still not sure how many blankets to bring. It can get quite cold up there but I was camping in the region last weekend and the nights were very pleasant. Better to be safe... blankets are good packing material for the scopes anyway.

Our cunning plan is to post daily wraps from the camp... but that will depend on us getting access to the Internet. So if you're coming up on the weekend or later in the week, keep a watch out for news and announcements.

I'll be seeing most of you on the weekend, and for the rest of you... if you're in the area, drop in. We'll find a spot for you and your scope.

And finally, to answer the important question some have been asking... YES, apparently we can get channel 9 up there and you will be able to watch the NRL finals.

cheers -- randall
