Hi All,
Just to give some certainty for the people travelling Friday, the weather forecast for the weekend is not the greatest, but appears better than last year. So at this stage, we will continue with the function as planned for this weekend. The forecast is only for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, i.e. they're not server thunderstorms.
Temperatures are 24 to 31 degrees during the daytime, with a relatively warm 15 to 19 degrees at night.
Just summarising who is coming along. The numbers in brackets are people participating in the dinner and the included deserts.

- Dinner - $25 per adult, and $12.50 per child (5 to 15), and free for children under 5. (Dinner is scheduled to start at 6:30pm to 6:45pm)

- 4WD pass - $25 per vehicle for the weekend (well, valid for 7 days)
Boxy, if we don't meet up with you at Aratula, and make your own way to Janowen Hills, would you stop at the office to pay your fees. The office is approximately 4km past the entrance of the 4x4 park.
Looking forward to catching up with you all over the weekend.
