mmm....I have been in top level negotiation with CSV_LS1 about going up there.....I was going to wait til tomorrow before posting anything but after seeing it will be 27 in Bendigo on sunday, I think I will be making the journey for a bit of draggage especially as The Summernats are on and will probably decrease the numbers a bit too.
