Next year mate, next year.
I was at ball park for a short time sat night, catching up with Howard H. He pointed you out but you seemed a bit busy. Soon after I headed back to the motel.
I missed the MLU photo. I did a couple of laps of the swap meet with my daughter. Was about to head out when I spotted Richards' champ, grabbed the inter parts he so generously left for me and headed out for the arvo on other matters.

So I was only just there this year. Next year I hope to make it my first with a vehicle.

Default The big picture

After not being allowed to go in the cherrypicker last year (OH&S being quoted) I took matters into my own hands and flew high this year. This still will hopefully give you an idea of the scale of the event, and because of the tree canopies it was necessary to fly over it a couple of times from different directions to see it all.
I was there for the photo - I don't know whose cameras were being used to take them, although I think perhaps Jan's was used at some point. But she is now blissfully on her honeymoon with her mind on things other than khaki for a change.
