Since we are all scattered from Central Queensland to Melbourne and perhaps Perth, it does not make much sense to try and organise a meeting/outing on short notice. For the US mob, Australia has the land mass of the continental United states with the population of California. Canberra is 4-5 hours away from me and a good 2 and 1/2 days form Clermont Queensland. Holiday periods are great to set up for an outing but the only one that seems to fit the bill would be the June long weekend. Most of the other are too short or require family. It may be best, as in Rob's case, to make contact through our travels. Since a spend a fair amount of time in Queensland, Tanya can expect me to call in - with advance notice - as I have driven past her town countless times. Did she mention Wolf Fang park. I think it is a bunch of volcano plugs that have had the earth worn away. To me, it is the most exciting sight between Mackay and Emerald. If our mob can decide on a venue and, if there are enough, we could perhaps get the Pentax distributor CR Kennedy involved. Could be fun.
Cheers, Bob
