We've done the same sooty (btw that was the name of my very first kat ... ) and taken an extra day for our long weekend.  It'll be our longest time under canvas since we've purchased (yeah bit slack I know ... but we are weekend warriors okay?! )  Hope the tent goes well for you LB as it seems retirement is imminent for the poor old bugger.

Thanks Kit_e,

This is a short stay for us, only 4 nights. We usually try for 5 nights but that is usually over Easter.

I am frustrated because the daughter wants to take the dome tent for her and her cousin, instead of the touring tent which would take me 1/4 of the time to setup.

Roll on the KK :D

Thewife works Saturdays and Mondays is her normal weekend anyway,

I've got the bathroom in bits and Saturday we'll be without a shower for the weekend while in renovations. No weekend away for us while its our anniversary weekend.
Anyway, public holidays is a good time to stay away from the touristy spots and the hoards of crowds.
We don't hVe kids so the school holiday dramas don't really affect us either.
Those who are away, staysafe on the roads..... heaven knows there's enough idiots out there on the road at the best of times and even more on public holidays.

Not going anywhere either here.

Have been everywhere already!  ;D

Just the past month...Grafton, Tamworth, Walgett, Warialda.

Two deployments for the Rural Fire Service. One trip for work.

Might have a day run over some local 4wd trails though.
