Melbourne, Autumn 2017 meet.

[harro]

Latest forecast for Mt D is showers and windy, which is better than rain, from yesterday. Is there a fire pit there?

 

[Fusion_m8]

Lots of fire/ BBQ pits there with free firewood....

That's been a really nice light in its day!!
You going to show it tomorrow night, Matt?

 

[old4570]

Yep , I will bring it .. Has a very budget LED bulb in it ..
Owned this one since the Mid 70's , been waiting for a LED bulb that throws a decent beam and pulls low current ..
I measured some 0.06 amp and puts out North of 25 Lumen ( LED Bulb )

I have a Vintage 2D as well I will bring down .. It has the other Budget LED bulb in it .. Pulls 0.01 amp and I measured 6 lumens ( needs new glass )
Posted a review on my web on the bulbs ...

If there's shelter, it should be fine and I reckon it would make it interesting. If people are still interested in coming speak now.

I'm good. But i'll chuck in a japara and umbrella by the sounds of it.

I'm coming. Don't let a little rain scare us off!

Precipitation makes for great beam shots!

And I'm coming to Melbourne anyway to inspect a chainsaw that I want to buy. And I have been charging battery's all week!

 

[Fusion_m8]

There is plenty of shelter there... all set... come rain, hail or shine!!! HARDCORE!!!!

 

[Leoht]

I will bring some sweets (as usual)

Sunny at first, then cloud increasing late morning. High (80%) chance of showers from the late morning. Possible hail this evening. Winds north to northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h turning westerly in the afternoon.

Hmmmmmm , it's late morning and sunny with no cloud in sight ...

But then this is Melbourne , 4 seasons in one day !
Be prepared to be cold !

Probably too windy for flying things , but I will bring the buggy ..

It's directly 245 metres south west of Gav's original location you will see it on tho opposite side of the clearing.
